Yes, this was in my yard ...
A snake catcher who works for the forestry department caught this rat snake with some help from the drivers in our compound. They used a rope to shake it out of a tree, and then he caught it by the tail as it flew through the air. The hunt took a while, and the snake's escape tactics included shedding its skin and leaving it as a decoy while it scooted from the tree into a nearby stand of bamboo. That's when I left the scene ...
Ashok called me back out once the snake was caught so I could get these photos.
It's very cool, but I'll admit that I look forward to a more boring back yard ...
