What Is A Cub-Bar Snake?

[haveaniceday]

We have had several of these at our house building site, they are small about 2 foot long but apparently grow 'big', have a small head and many bands across the body all the way down it.

The staff call it a cob-bar as apposed to Colb-blar for a cobra. All the other snakes he have had, well we only see them when they are making a hasty retreat, these ones, proactively come very close to us and just don't retreat, they are extreamy confident.

Some of the staff like snakes, seem to know a little bit, and get very angry when people chase the cobras. The thing I find concerning is they say these ones are very venomous and they hate them.

I don't have a pic sorry, I am just trying to find out what we are dealing with here.

Many bands across their body? Where is this?

Colours would be useful

Have a look on this site for the beast, Banded Krait perhaps http://www.siam-info.de/english/snakes_bungarus.html

Important things to know when reporting snake sightings. Location, color of bands if any, how far apart bands are etc etc.

Sounds like they are willing to pose for a picture. Nobody has a camera phone???
