It's been a tough week. Found a cockroach in my pork fried rice, now the cats found a snake in our Bangkok home's kitchen.

Took these pics of the snake. It's about 8 inches long, black, pale underbelly, with a white ring around its neck. Googled its description, but don't seem to be able to find any Thai snakes resembling it.

After catching and interviewing it, I let it go on a vacant block.

Anyone familiar with this species?
