Can you see a little grass snake in this picture? Her head is poking out!
You can tell its a grass snake because they have white markings around their head. Here we call them 'white ears' snake, because it looks like she has little white ears behind her head!
They are not venomous and are completely harmless, and also this one is a baby. She was a pleasure to encounter in the forest and slid away after I took the picture.

White-lipped Herald Snake - Crotaphopeltis hotamboeia
This handsome snake is Crotaphopeltis hotamboeia (Colubridae), an African species which is also commonly referred to as Red-lipped Snake by its distinctive red lips. This is one of the most common snakes in mesic habitats, including lowland swamps and marshes, in the eastern regions of southern Africa.
Perhaps the most striking feature of this snake is its irascible behavior when disturbed, when it forms a striking coil, flattens its head to show off the iridescent black temporal patches, and strikes viciously if molested.
The common name “Herald Snake” was allegedly coined in honour of the “Eastern Province Herald” newspaper.
