This stream runs across the forest just before it enters a cultivated valley. The snake was found at 11.00 h during a period of hot, sunny weather. A few water holes of various depths, some man-made, are present along the banks of the stream. These water holes are alternately or simultaneously inhabited by fish, tadpoles, and soft water shrimps and crabs, more rarely by larva of Odonata. The
