Got a snake in the garage at the moment. About 80 centimetres long, grey colour with broken black lines diagonally across the body,quite small head, about 15mm diameter. Does not appear agressive in any way.

Will try to get a photograph and post later.

Anyone recognise the description ?

80cm... grey... broken black lines diagonally ... small head

Might be a checkered keelback (Xenochrophis piscator), awaiting photo.

Sorry the photograph is not too clear but it's got into this little hole, building brick with the three holes through it, and it doesn't appear as though it wants to come out yet. Probably got a belly full of frog. I think you can see it's blue/grey colour with the black broken markings.

Can't see much there. Could be a banded Kukri snake or an Indochinese rat snake.

Google and post links to similar snakes and then we may be able to help.

This is 99.99% it. Banded Kukri snake.

All I need now is suggestions for a good location to release or if anyone knows of a good snake farm that might be interested PM me

Strange today, Saw what I thought was the snake out if the hole and on the garage floor. When I went for a look it turned out to be a similar color but had quite distinct black diamond markings every 4 inches or so down its back and broken black bands on the areas between. It very quickly left under the back gate before I could photograph it. When I looked in the hole the original snake is still there and is still alive, just pokes it's head out eyeballs me then goes back.

Is it this? Malayan pit viper, very dangerous and aggressive.

I really wish I could have got a photograph but it didn't look any thing like the photo you posted. I am in no way a snake exprert but there is something about the little one in the brick hole that gives you the feeling that it is happy to be there and doesn't want to annoy or be nasty in any way. Really not sure about any snake but the original one in the brick hole seems so calm and in no way aggressive it kind of appeals to me. Saying that I will not touch it until I have a 100 percent confimation it is not dangerous then I will take way from here and let it go. I will spend some time to get a good photograph and get a 100 percent photo for ID and then post. Everything in the world has it's place for a reason. not for me to question

Where in Thailand are you?
