VocalNeal Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Yes it is a something tree snake. Rear fanged. Venomous but not very and not lethal. Beware if the tail is brown. Then it is a viper. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
55Jay Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Golden Tree Snake. Mildly venomous, rear fanged but not a medical danger for humans. One of the more common snakes people encounter around their homes here. They are excellent climbers and can be very fast. There is no need to kill it or try to catch and relocate it, unless it is in your house or you have dogs and they are trying to attack it. Then I would move it out of the house/away from the dogs. Otherwise, I leave them alone and as long as they have a path to carry on/get away, they will. No problem. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marcusarelus Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Green tree snake in photo at top. They fly. Fun to watch. Drive my dog nuts trying to catch them and she never succeeds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tagaa Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 I don't recall the name but it is ABSOLUTELY HARMLESS. Let it go about it's duties & eat frogs & lizards etc. Please don't kill this one. They seem to be everywhere & doing the job that they were intended to do...as in keep down vermin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One in the photo really nice. Vern may have touched up the color and contrast a bit (?) to make it pop even more on screen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naw, nowhere near a Kukhri snake, which is also a very common, non-venomous snake in Thailand. They do have a very sharp row of regular teeth (not front fangs) and will make you bleed a lot if you muck with them, and make them bite you defensively. Kukhri Snake, 2 variations. One check marked, the other striped. Edited January 31, 2019 by 55Jay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilcopops Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 killing snakes not a good idea - most people who get bitten by snakes are actually trying to kill them. The golden tree snake is not considered dangerous anyway. however one is reminded of the village in Indonesia or Malaysia the decided to rid themselves of their Cobra population and was subsequently overrun by rats and vermin. Maybe apocryphal ,but it makes the point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
