nikmar Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 Hi, Im currently at work and have recieved a panicked phone call from my good lady. Our neighbour has warned her that she saw a snake on the tree in our front yard. she described it as "medium sized and yellow with patterns". While I realize this doesnt narrow it down much, can anyone knowledgable give any ideas as to what it may be. Im basically trying to narrow it down and rule out any dangerous snakes so to reassure my nervous other half. Ive told her not ot kill it if she sees it, but if it's dangerous then that may be the best option. Ive asked my colleagues who are mostly saying things like "mii pit, antarriii" and so forth. Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

holy cow cm Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 What area of Thailand and can she take a picture? Belly yellow? Body yellow or green? Lot's a good snake guessers here. What is a medium sized snake? 1 meter? 2 meters? I just had a snake alert myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikmar Posted August 17, 2018 Author Share Posted August 17, 2018 Ive told her to send a pic if she sees it. Details from said neighbour are vague, I wish I could say more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a look on Google, good luck and please report back certainly looks a possibility. ive seen them around my home before. im wondering if any dangerous ones fit that description. Im not home till around 8 tonight so will have a wander with a torch then. Not my cleverest post really with so few details but thanks anyway. will let you know if theres any occurance.

nikmar Posted August 17, 2018 Author Share Posted August 17, 2018 could be a winner Ron. have sent pic to wife (cowering in house). Certainly fits description more than other pics Ive seen on Google. Thanks mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiChakayan Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 Shooooo !... usually works quite well. If you see the snake you are safe, unless you are stupid enough to handle it without adequate training. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly this is a problem here, it's a snake, kill it!! I'm gradually training my good lady that the snakes we see in the garden are not going to hurt her if she leaves them alone. Never seen a cobra, the odd python is removed by the snake man (they eat the chooks), everything else can stay. They all eat things we don't want. We have these (Laotian Wolf Snake) harmless although they do bite. She was convinced they were these (Banded Krait) totally deadly. You can see why, but she now knows the difference ? Both images are from thailandsnakes.com a superb reference. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron19 Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 Have seen a banded Krait, dead and pinned on a tree trunk and over two metres long. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikmar Posted August 20, 2018 Author Share Posted August 20, 2018 Looked around for it on Friday night and no sign of it. Wife and cat alive and ok. Im a bit disapointed to be honest....not that the wife is ok, I was hoping to see it as i havent seen too many snakes in my 13 years here. At least I didnt see it dead and pinned to a tree tho. ?
