Date of record:   2008-12-20
Number of photos:   2
Notes:   Please assist with identity - the snake was small, dark grey with silver hoops around the body. The pictures are confusing at first sight, for the snake is in a shiny metal pot, so the snake and its reflection look like two individuals. The snake's head is on the left.
