Hello. I found my cat playing with a very small snake the other day. My camera was to hand so I took a photo, but it doesn't seem to correspond to any of the species in your blog. It has a very particular pattern of colour. If you are interested, I could email you the photo if you have an email address. Please reply to (gilessteve at hot mail dot com) Thank you.
