Stunningly gorgeous juvenile Hundred Pacer Snake (Deinagkistrodon acutus) that we came across on a rainy October 11th 2014 along the Northern Cross-Island Road in Taiwan. This is a "holy grail" snake for herpers in Taiwan.

Impromptu interview with "Xiao Pang", a herper from the south of Taiwan who can count himself among the very lucky few who have survived a bite from a Deinagkistrodon acutus - more colloquially known as a 百步蛇 (bai3bu4she2) "Hundred Pacer".

This is an extremely rare albino Many-banded Krait (Bungarus multicinctus) I came across on a night hike on May 10, 2017 on my local mountain here in Taoyuan Taiwan (Tiger Head Mountain). About 60-70cm in length. I think this is the only video on youtube of an albino Many-banded krait in the wild. I was only able to get this short video before it disappeared into a hole.
