More Snakes Around The Moo Baan

So today we found an Asian vine snake in our garden.

Sadly it looked like security broke the snakes back.

I have heard around my village that it is very good luck to drive over a snake on the road.

Of course not lucky for snake!

There is a tribal group in Thailand that considers snakes to be creatures of the Devil. If they see a snake, it brings ill omen. I heard from a group of trekkers that they were shocked when one of their porters that belonged to this tribe killed a snake that happened to cross their path. Such a thing would probably not be sanctioned by the SPCA in the UK. Not Here!

One example of when East clashes with the West.

your photograph is of a green whip snake (Ahaetulla prasina) it is poisonous but its fangs are in the rear of the mouth and not deemed poisonous to humans
