TBWG Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 It's a golden tree snake great to have around as it eats rodents! But only if it is alive! http://www.siam-info.de/english/snakes_chrysopelea.html#Chrysopelea%20ornata%20ornatissima TBWG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F1fanatic Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Am I alone in thinking this does not look like a Golden Tree Snake? They're not normally so stripey? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martindavies Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 TBWG is wrong I'm afraid. What you have there is a Paradise tree snake. My link I'm guessing your in southern Thailand from your name, Quite lucky to see one. Shame its dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mosha Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 (edited) 1 of the cat's killed this, is it a Brown Long Glanded Coral Snake? I included the dust pan for a size reference (approx 12"} It had black diamonds down it's side and 2 black stripes near the tail end. Head was very dark. I live in Ranong for range purposes.

What you have there is Calliophis maculiceps. Small-spotted / speckled Coral Snake. My link Quite friendly, you can handle them without fear of being bitten.
