LazyYogi Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 (edited) This guy was about 1.5 cm thick and a little less than a meter long. Found him outside the house, but he has since disappeared. *Edit: sorry forgot to attach the photo the first time Edited May 26, 2012 by LazyYogi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trainman34014 Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 Looks like a Keelback to me. They like water so if you live near to a Klong, Pond, Lake or whatever, you are likely to get them in the garden. Not deadly to man but they do bite if bothered and it's not a nice bite !

LazyYogi Posted May 26, 2012 Author Share Posted May 26, 2012 I'm not so sure it's any of those. I should mention that I'm in Chiang Mai, and my house is right by a small swamp/marsh area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MESmith Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 Looks like a rat snake, from those longitudinal stripes. Harmless, unless you're a rat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LazyYogi Posted May 26, 2012 Author Share Posted May 26, 2012 I think it's too small to be a rat snake. Now it's hiding in the mango tree in front of the house. I got a couple more photos of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LazyYogi Posted May 26, 2012 Author Share Posted May 26, 2012 i wonder if it might be a striped kukri snake. http://bangkokherps.wordpress.com/2011/05/01/striped-kukri-snake/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goshawk Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 I think it's too small to be a rat snake. correct.. it's non of the species mentioned above. Your snake is rather an interesting one - Oligodon dorsolateralis. Its a species of Kukri snake. Very little info available on this particular one & not many photo's on the web, but you can see it here at Siamensis.org 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
