I’ve caught and photographed my first snake. It’s a Striped Keelback(Amphiesma Stolata) Here are the pics. Since it was my first snake, I was wearing gloves. Later removed them, but forgot to take pics. 
Newayz, here are pics with gloves on.
Hope to get more snaps soon. 😀 😀

Ahem… The striped keelback is extremely docile and almost never bites. Plus it’s non-venomous. 😀
