It can be found in the South East Asian countries such as Malaysia, Indonesia and Thailand. And coincidentally I took this picture at a reservoir in Penang, Malaysia just as the name indicates where it could be found.
The primary habitat of this snake is forest floors, mainly in tropical rain-forests as that is what can be found in the region.
Picture notes: focus on the head as I was giving it a narrow depth of field to highlight the snake in a rather boring background of dead leaves, grass and concrete. Also I would not want to be moving the snake anywhere for a better background.
