Popular Post charliechoc Posted August 29, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 29, 2021 (edited) We are on a weekend away and walking around a scenic water reservoir area with nice views. I started to see a huge ripple on the water surface and recorded a video as it looked like a snake. Sure enough it was a huge long one estimated 4m long or more. I dont know what species it was as we were near the edge where it finished its journey and we swiftly moved on. What type of snake is this?

Popular Post Old Croc Posted August 29, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 29, 2021 (edited) Hard to tell in the water, but at that size, likely one of three - Burmese or Reticulated python or King Cobra. Second look - the markings may be a Reticulated Python. Edited August 29, 2021 by Old Croc 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Doctor Tom Posted August 29, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 29, 2021 (edited) It is a 'Snakus Thaius submarineus'. It originates in China and there are only 5 in the whole of Thailand. It is quite a useless snake, that just sits there and can't be arsed to go anywhere or do anything.

Popular Post Aussiepeter Posted August 29, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 29, 2021 As others have commented, it's a reticulated python of about average size for over there. It always amazed me as a child that snakes could swim, but being raised in the bush in Australia, I've seen it all. I used to have a Thai hill-tribe wife many years ago, so I saw (and ate) plenty of snakes, though python was seldom on the menu, thank goodness. Where we live now in the northeast of NSW in Oz, there's a lot of uncleared rainforest/jungle, which those who grow a certain illicit 'weed' like, as it conceals their activities. This area is known for the quality of its' weed the world over. The locals often comment on the huge pythons they encounter when "out in the rainforest" as this area gets some of the biggest carpet pythons known to mankind - 5m long is usual and I've seen them 6m+ several times. Our 90 y.o. nearly blind lady neighbour had one eat several of her hens last year, before the govt. bloke came round and re-located it. We are going into summer here and already, the "greenies" are asking locals to watch out for giant pythons crossing the road, as like most nasty critters in Australia, snakes are protected and there are heavy fines for messing with them. Yes, they make nice belts too, but then, that's illegal ... 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few more seconds of it out of the water would have been nice, but I guess you were heading in the opposite direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onekoolguy Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 For those that are interested a really good site is "Snakes of Hua Hin" You can submit a picture and the administrator is very good at identifying snakes. I am amazed at how many there are around here? I see very few, but people from around the area and in the city submit pictures everyday and there are a lot of very nasty ones such as spitting cobras which I didn't know even existed in this area?

It's obviously not one, which is why I, and all posters except yourself, didn't bother talking further about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
