Just sharing some great pics a friend took on the HK trail 4 nights ago. Nearly stepped on this fully grown Bambo Pit viper… near Phase 2 of the HK trail… around 10pm.
Pics taken with a mobile phone, trying to upload multiple images but don’t know if the program will let me.
Best to watch were you step at night in these hills…..
I recently saw a Bamboo pit viper on TaiMoShan- quite near the top on open ground well away from woodland. Checked from pictures that it could not be anything else – not a keelback this time. Some of the group suggested killing it but we dissuaded them, the snake was threatening no one out there – but might have been dinner for Kite soon ?
