Wild Life On Samui


Recommended Posts

We had three beautiful pythons in the last six months - couldnt move away because they ate one or two chicken. Well, no one survived, the local Thais said: "Dangerous for small children". Cobras are more clever, they dont like to come to close to populated areas.

No offence to the Locals but i'm sure their education where Reptilian species are concerned, is a bit limited to say the least.Ok maybe a fully grown, very big Python would be a danger to Children, i've even read the stories of Captive ones of 12ft plus eating teh Kid in Colorado if my memory serves me right, but under that, i very much doubt they'd even second glance a Human..

Anaonda's on the other hand......... :o

Anaconda's wouldn't fit on "the other hand"!!

a beautiful snake in my "garden", few month ago. A Coelognathus radiatus (Copperhead Rat Snake)

Thai: Ngoo Mabrao. She shows a beautyful design when disturbed, similar to a king cobra, just upwards like a finn.

After sending the picture to the address below (nobody knew what it was):

We learned that this was a non poisson snake and no dangerous at all. But the behavior of that snake is quit impressive and scary. Anyway i had to take a picture. Here they are, enjoy

There is still hope for the wildlife here on the island.

Found this chappie in the pool on Sunday. It was at least 5 foot long.

Rooo, Laugh if you like, but when I first saw one in the pool about 5 years ago and it was 6 am in the morning, that is exactly what I thought.

That is so cool.

Snakes on the other hand turn me into a big screaming girl, running around looking for a suit of armour and a shotgun.
