Yes Neeraj....u are right, The colour of this snake is very different. If Checkered keelback's can be so dull and drab, and greenish in colour in some regions, then i m quite sure that the pics u took at Chambal were also of the same species. I will ask Nidhin about the location of photography soon. It seems colour variations occur in this species, depending upon the area and habitat. Shantanu.
