NoDisplayName 274 Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 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.

Yeah, that's why I suggested a "better" photo for the snakes group. He would get a lot of flak from the snake-charmers. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rwill 4131 Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 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/ 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
puchooay 2261 Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 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". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevemercer 2042 Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 It's an Oriental Rat Snake. Not venomous and harmless to humans. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
