Mrs Lman was foraging for leaves to add to her stinking curry when she encountered this long thin fellow. I've tried to ID it through the Internet and sure it is a Tree Snake but could not find an exact likeness. She is sure it's harmless and said that Thai people, including ma-in-law like to eat it!

Anybody know it's ID?

I think it may be the 'common (painted) bronzeback. Latin name : Dendrelaphis pictus. Ranges over most of tropical asia. Grows up to 145cm. Bronze/greenish tinged upper body and head etc. Lives on lizards,tree frogs and paddy frogs. Just a guess.

Thanks for your helpful first post Harsu.

Yes it might be what you say. Here is the webpage, it does look similar but still I'm not 100% sure.

I went outside one day to find one of our cats biting the tail of this guy, while the snake was biting the ass of cat. A perfect circle! Definitely not poisonous as the cat is still with us.
