Yet another "What snake is this" thread.

Featured Replies

What snake is this?  I'm guessing (Indonesian) rat snake.

 

Lives in a burrow in our front yard.  This one about 1/2 meter long.  Had one living under the spirit house about 2 meters long.  We have a pond directly behind the house, so plenty of frogs.  And rats in the attic.

You could try the Snakes of Isaan group on FaceBore, but maybe get a decent photo of him not being crushed.

There's also "Thai Biodiversity Survey & Species ID" for other creatures that are not snakes (they do snakes too).

What are you doing to it ? I hope it's not what it appears to be.

Yeah, that's why I suggested a "better" photo for the snakes group.

He would get a lot of flak from the snake-charmers.

You need better photos than those to get a good ID.  Specially the first one.  It's way too blurry.

As others have mentioned you will get some flack if showing a photo killing a snake.

 

You can also try this one:  https://www.facebook.com/ThailandSnakesID/

 

In my experience most villagers, my wife, father in law, mother in law and generally most of the family, recognise what type of snakes I or they see. Why not just ask them?

 

Pop the answer into Google translate snd "BINGO".

It's an Oriental Rat Snake. Not venomous and harmless to humans.

Wife took the photo with her cellphone from the balcony.  She didn't want to get any closer.

 

The snake was not harmed, it's just the angle of the photo and the way it was trying to wrap around the non-lethal snake-catcher-stick.  I released it by a pond near our property where it slithered off into the bush.
