Spotted bush snakes are arboreal snakes and use this vantage point to spot pretty moving down below. Once they lock onto the target the hunt is on.
The venom of a spotted bush snake has low effects on human beings and they are considered harmless as they are backfanged making it difficult to bite something large, but is powerful enough to paralyze the frog so that it can be devoured whole.
