Fresh Water Snake

I saw a few of these in a garden pond today. This has to be either the endemic Sri Lanka Keelback (Xenochrophis asperrimus) or The Checkered Keelback   (Xenochrophis piscator), I'm not sure.

From The Recent Trip To My Old Place 01- Common Indian Monitor (Varanus bengalensis)

I spent three days with my Parents at my old place in Panadura nearly two weeks a go. That's when I shot this footage in a coconut plantation. These lizards are seen  in various parts  of the country, including human habitats. They prey on worms, arthropods, and snails. It's a simple matter for them to crush a snail's shell with a snap of jaws. I don't know whether they have any predators other than some local folks who have a taste for their flesh and eggs.
