Crossy Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 Actually I think he may be a reticulated python. https://www.thailandsnakes.com/non-venomous/reticulated-python-non-venomous-dangerous-bites/ Non-venomous, but you need a man to remove him, they have a LOT of very sharp teeth.

dfdgfdfdgs Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 Easy to tell the pythons because of the shape of their head. No other snake's head looks like that. And the pattern on their body is distinctive as well. Don't kill it, it's harmless. I've never seen a live one, I've spent many hours looking. Monocled cobras and kraits are the most interesting ones I've found. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Golden Triangle Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 Don't know where you are but if you have a FaceBook account there is a page on there called 'Snakes of Pattaya' join, post a picture, and tell them where you are and in minutes they will tell you if it's harmless or you should be heading for the hills Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

csabo Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 It's a retic. Get help to remove it from the drain and release it to a suitable environment. One was recently taken from a drain in Saphan Hin in Phuket as it was lodged in what it believed was an escape route. While it has a food supply it would be much happier in the wild. Do go report it.

Monocled cobras and kraits are the most interesting ones I've found. Opposite for me. Have found many Pythons but never found a live Cobra despite a lot of looking. Kraits have had a few. Have even seen Phythons on Sukhumvit Soi 11 and Soi 49 in recent times in central Bangkok as well as many times when out looking for them. Seems that Cobras and Kraits are much more prevalent in the south. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have at least one monocled cobra a week come inside my walls, they come in via the land drain from the jungle/tapioca field outside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't think what else the information could be used for. That guy with the Thailand snakes website has a book on this subject already. And some info on how to treat bites and the like, the lethality of each snake, etc.. Might be worthwhile to buy, depending on where you live. I will probably buy it, since I will live in a rural part of Thailand and my girlfriend recently encountered a snake outside during night time. Het brother told her it was a cobra, but the guy from the Thailand snakes website told me it was a pretty harmless lurking snake (no poison, just sharp teeth).

dfdgfdfdgs Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 I've never seen a live snake in BKK, I've seen 3 roadkills. One of them was a golden tree snake and the other 2 were this type of snake, anybody any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have successfully bred Colombian Boas which produce live young as opposed to the egg producing local pythons which is considered difficult even among herpetologists. I am confident in my snake recognition and handling abilities to the point that I know what I know and I also know what I don't know. That combined with the fact that I always look where I walk and sit I wouldn't worry too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sabian Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 This looks like a Burmese Python, not quite as aggressive as the Reticulated but still a handful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themerg Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 Burmese python. Call for help to remove. It will eat a dog, cat, children and you. I saw a Burmese python in Florida eat a deer and a big size alligator on TV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
