sonos99 Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 Possibly a copperhead racer 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post SteveK Posted January 7, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 7, 2020 Rat snakes usually have stripes down the side but this is 100% a radiated rat snake also known as a copperhead-racer which is a shame because they are non-venomous and kill their prey by constriction. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aggressive but not seriously dangerous to humans. Very quick normally, so you must have done a Hamilton out of a pit stop ???? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post rwill Posted January 8, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 8, 2020 That was one of the good snakes to have around. Just leave them alone and you will have no problem with them. All of the rat snakes are good to have around to help get rid of critters. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My dog thinks getting rid of the critters is his job and he will deal with any poacher who dosen't have a work permit. He deals with rats and poacchers (Snakes) with equal distain. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chilly07 Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Had one exactly the same and the City Hall snake catchers called it a Coconut Snake. Yes it is beautiful and they took it away alive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xbeemer Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Rat snakes are a protected species in Thailand. Killing them or allowing your dogs to kill them can result in criminal charges. Plus it's really stupid to harm a snake that keeps rodents away from your property. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuchs Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 Its definitey a rat snake, probably a beauty snake from the markings. They make popular pets in the West, something a bit different than a corn snake. The species is Orthriophis taeniura, and they help to control rodent numbers. Non-dangerous to man and economically beneficial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
