miltonbentley Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Can anyone tell me what this fella is? He is about a metre long and is quite thin except halfway down where something is clearly digesting nicely. He has a very distinctive head but I have no expertise in the herpetology field. Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KayCee Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 I'm not a herpetologist either, though I had a son fascinated enough to become one, so I've done some reading up on critters around here. I'm far, far, far, from an expert though, but my guess would be a long-nose whip snake which are not dangerous for humans http://www.siam-info.de/english/snakes_ahaetulla.html That site above is a pretty good one, but there are a lot of very knowledgeable Thai Visa members too who can confirm.

miltonbentley Posted September 28, 2011 Author Share Posted September 28, 2011 Thanks guys that's definitely him. He's not doing any harm and the neighbours are equally content to leave him be although they assure me he is 'very dangerous' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
