Liam Bunce Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Happy New Year Everyone. Could someone please ID the two images below, the first one of a green snake was taken at the back of the visitor centre in Bako Malaysia it was wrapped around an air-con unit. The second one was take on a nature reserve in Herefordshire uk, not sure if it is a Bolate of some kind. Liam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inchiquin Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 The snake looks as though it's probably a red-tailed green ratsnake (Gonyosoma oxycephalum). Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allan Bell Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Out of interest I looked your sample photo up in my book on Fungi. The fungus looks like it could be "Boletus Erythropus" looking at the pictures in my book. Grows in both deciduous and coniferous woodlands. Cap is hemispherical at first later expanding and flattening with a diameter from 5 to 15cm. Incidentally the spelling is "Boletes". Allan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liam Bunce Posted January 4, 2018 Author Share Posted January 4, 2018 You chaps are a GREAT HELP. I will correct the spelling Allan Many thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CM photo Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 "Boletus Erythropus" Strictly speaking, Boletes erythropus, the specific name always having a lower case initial letter. Biological convention (often not followed!). Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
