No, these snakes are non-VENOMOUS, not non-poisonous. "this is a harmless snake.The pupil is round.By all kinds of Viper(Poison snake)the pupil is lenghtways."

Best regards Waterbuffalofarm Sorry but you are wrong, though it is not in the Viperidae family it is venomous. The Elapidea family (Cobra) have round pupils and are very dangerous.

No, these snakes are non-VENOMOUS, not non-poisonous. Because we are not all native engrish spikkers. Whoever made that website is german, so he/she may have used the wrong terminology; still a nice snake reference. Anyway, I haven't seen that snake since I took the pic so he is either gone or hiding somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as vermin control is concerned get a rat trap they catch more anyway than a once a month eating snake, bastard things especially around kids, kill them all.

Of course I won't take any chances with a snake. But killing it as someone suggested would be a bit drastic. I'm not sure but it doesn't look like a dog snake to me. Notice that it only has black spots on the upper 1/3 of the body. It was a fast swimmer too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
