Siblings?

This little fellow made the mistake of hiding near our front doorstep when my lady was sweeping.

It's fatal mistake was having a swipe at her when she was holding a broom.

She says it's a cobra, can anyone confirm?

And, where there's one baby, can we expect many more around the place? (building work going on, lots of places for them to hide!)

Does anyone know what this baby snake is?

Looks like a Rat Snake (ngu sing hang lai).

Thanks Tywais. I was leaning towards a rat snake but the GF called it a cobra.

Have checked further and I'm now pretty sure it was an Indo-Chinese Rat Snake - (Ptyas korros).

Poor little bugger.

(No one or nothing should try to bite the lady when she is holding a broom!)
