What kind of snake is this little fellow, anyone knows?

[spetersen]

Find a little baby snake 25 cm, just in front of the entrance of our house this evening , anyone knows what kind of spices this is , I have previously catch several Malayan  Pit Vipers here but this one I’m not sure of. Let me know if you know… By the way took the snake to a safe place and released it.

[worgeordie]

Banded Kukri snake, non venomous , live on frogs , toads and lizards, called Kukri due to shape  of

their teeth,  like a Nepalese Kukri knife.

regards worgordie,

Be careful with any Pit Viper, i got bitten by one a few years back not a pleasant experience.

We have absolutely loads of Kukris with lateral stripes here, I nearly step on them almost daily... but I never saw a banded one like that. Interesting! What part of Thailand?

Found one about the same size on my driveway a week ago. Unfortunately didn't see him as I drove in and caught his head with the wheel.

Do they really eat toads?

I always thought toads were poisonous.

I believe they slit the toad open, with their special teeth

and only eat the insides of the toad, its the toads skin

that is poisonous. clever eh.

Better of killing it — 

— just to be on the safe side. 

[rwill]

Don't just kill snakes randomly they are beneficial.  But I do understand protecting your family and pets if needed.

 

Kukri though not that dangerous it is best not to handle them much their teeth are razor sharp.

Even if venomous the time you are most likely to be bitten is in attacking it. If not in a place that is an immediate threat it will leave you alone if you do likewise.

I think WildBill was being sarcastic, pointing out an unfortunate common attitude toward snakes.  I laughed it off, I hope he was not serious.

You probably intended to write "Slow Worm" which is truly a legless lizard. A Grass Snake is a true snake'

[jak2002003]

The snake is nice pattern...good looking snake. 

 

Love seeing many different snakes, lizards and turtles here in Thailand. We don't get that variety in the UK. 

 

I have always had pet snakes too...at the moment have corn and king snakes. Also had ball pythons in the past.
