phetphet Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 Anyone know what type of snake this is? It's in a bush by the path outside my front door. Just worried it might be dangerous being right by the path. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post nikmar Posted April 18, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 18, 2020 (edited) as above, we had one wrapped around our garden gate not so long ago. Harmless and beautiful. Edited April 18, 2020 by nikmar 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crossy Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 Yup, I'm 90% he's a whip snake. As with all snakes, treat as venomous, most will leave you alone if you leave them alone. If worried, or you find an actual deadly one, your puyai baan or village office should have the number of the local snake / monitor / bee / other creature wrangler to come and remove it safely. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phetphet Posted April 18, 2020 Author Share Posted April 18, 2020 I agree its very beautiful and just hanging, perfectly camouflaged in a bamboo bush by the path. Hopefully it will move on, as kids might walk by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nikmar Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 Just now, phetphet said: I agree its very beautiful and just hanging, perfectly camouflaged in a bamboo bush by the path. Hopefully it will move on, as kids might walk by. i dont think it will bite. they have reverse facing fangs ( or something like that ) and sort of have to chew down to get a good bite on so is reluctant to waste energy unless especially threatened. the venom they do have is, supposedly, similar to a bee sting. Slight risk of infection but nothing else. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

owl sees all Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 (edited) If you get bitten by a snake, take the snake with you to the local hospital. If this is not possible take a pic with you. My friend's wife was bitten by a snake. Sorted it out herself. u. Edited April 18, 2020 by owl sees all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
