Red-naped Snake (Furina diadema)

Usually found near termite mounds and the like, this snake was hunting around the frog pond we were checking out, probably for skinks and stuff fast asleep in the undergrowth. This snake was very difficult to handle and most especially difficult to get a quick shot of, but we moved him away from the area we were in so he didn't get trodden on.
