Aptly known as the puff-faced water snake, Homalopsis buccata (http://www.iucnredlist.org/apps/redlist/details/176682/0) is a mildy venomous water snake native to Southest Asia, primarily Indonesia and some parts of Malaysia and Thailand. This particular individual is bigger than is usual for this species, because it was caught in a fish pond, where it evidently stuffed itself with all the fish it could snap up.Credit: Joaquim Baeta · CC BY 4.0Source ↗
