Two very similar looking species are found in this area, one harmless (Freshwater Snake (Tropidonophis mairii) and one highly venomous species, the Rough-scaled Snake (Tropidechis carinatus). This one is the latter, as it doesn't appear to have a loreal scale, which although out of focus on the side-on head shot, can just be made out to be absent.

This is probably a juvenile, as they often have reddish tails like this.

There are two Mixophyes species found in this area. One of the best ways to distinguish them is by differences in eye colour, specifically the irides (irises). In Mixophyes fasciolatus, the iris is dark brown like this specimen, whereas M. iteratus has gold irises.
