ThaiWx Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 Beautiful species. This one in our yard a few months ago. I try to see them and remove them before our dogs do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThaiWx Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 (edited) How did you know it was harmless? If you are asking me, I always had an interest in snakes. Growing up I collected them and drove my mother crazy doing it. Around 23 years ago when I started coming to Thailand I began learning of the local snakes here, which ones to give room to and which ones were o.k. to handle. If you're ever in doubt you can visit sites such as http://www.thailandsnakes.com/ or google snakes of Thailand.

DavidOxon Posted December 9, 2010 Author Share Posted December 9, 2010 How did you know it was harmless? Me? I didn't! It didn't seem aggressive, wasn't hissing or poised for attack, more rather playing deadish cos of the cat I think, so quite easy to approach and pick up, and carry somewhere away from the cat! (Plus isn't it great to scare the wife - sitting in the back of the car, screaming! and impress my Dad - who was taking the pics)) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elektrified Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 I've had several of those exact same snakes in my garden. I kind of figured they were harmless because one time the dog just laid there as it slithered past her. She didn't even move. Another time a tokay attacked (and killed) one. I usually just push them out into the jungle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is not a good thing to do to scare the wife. However I would have done it also. How did you get her to stay in the car? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
