Found this dead at home today - guess I must have run it over - is it a Cobra or a rat snake? and what on earth does it have two feet for? Just curious as I have had loads of snakes around here before but never had a one with feet. Are they some sort of mis developed spurs or something.

From the picture, I'd say it's something the snake ate. Like this python and this alligator who made the headlines a few years ago

I can see where you are coming from and it makes sense - the weird thing is that one of the feet has about 8 toes / fingers - if it had been a rat or something similar I could understand it, but these thins appear to be attatched to it rather than coming out of it. Thanks all the same for the reply. Just a bit weird finding this, never saw anything like it before.

The other thing is - do snakes sort of "shit out" the remains or do they regurgitate? The more I look at the photo the more I think you are correct!

Cheers Nignoy !- I had a feeling it was one of those buggers! We have had a few around our place lately as well as the yellow and black banded Krait! - I don't wander around in the dark anymore!

SNAKES SHIT really really sigusting shits (and smelly) BUT ALSO REGURGITATE if they have are lifted or are disturbed and have to move after a large meal, or are ill; but yes, nignoy counted penises... and many snakes have spurs hta can be vestigal legs, and/or spurs for gripping females for mating....

Spot on a cobra cock, Its not a Cobra maybe a sunbeam snake, there dose not look to be any markings on its head which Cobras have, it could be a young rat snake. which look like Cobras to scare other snakes away.

^ King Cobras head markings don't show unless they are threatened and spread their neck, they look very much like the snake he pictured so it may be one, a bit hard to tell in post mortem when the color has faded some..

i would put money on it that its not a Cobra,, BUT, treat all snakes as dangerous.

My guess would be a rat snake, but not important. Somehow that snake doesn't look very dangerous anymore....

Now I know about snakes dicks aka hemipenis,

Thanks

In my own experience if it is a snake, stay well away, if it comes near you kill.

Identification, classification and indexology were never really an issue when fangs are involved.
