After I saw today my first live snake, but she was very fast and small so I could not catch her with hands as I was not sure what species it is. Now I decide to get some catcher tolls so I can catch the next one and get her out in a national park to be hopefully save from humans.

Thanks

I have no idea in how far you actually help a snake when catching it and releasing it in another habitat but I take it you have good intentions.

DIY instructions for a snake catcher can be found here. Good luck.

It's a VERY good thing to safely capture a snake, if it's around a residential area and subsequently release it in a more natural area (National Park, etc.)., because you will have saved its life, since many people would simply hack it to death - or catch it to eat it !

Oh, and CMWEB: on behalf of the snakes: Thank You Very Big ! !

So; YES; please keep that train-of-thought and safe those snakes.

We (my wife & I) have done this many times in our neighborhood and it feels really good doing this, believe you me !

CMweb... Be a bit careful with any snake. Lots of young 18 inch golden tree snakes right now and although I don't think their bite is venomous, they are quite aggressive and try to bite multiple times. I agitated one a few weeks back and it bit my bike shoes 3 times and then flew up to my shoe rack and struck at that about 5 times. Get a local to help you or use a long long pole to herd them away. A tree snake can jump off the ground a rather amazing distance.

Sir/Madam...

The BEST way to handle a snake

is to leave it alone and call an experienced snake handler,(most districts have one.)

If possible,contain the animal,

but LEAVE IT ALONE until the expert arrives.

Are not snakes territorial. And relocating them to another territory just leave them open to attack by other snakes?

Yes, but it's a snake eat snake world.

YES : DO NOT CATCH A SNAKE IF YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT YOU DO !!!

No worries, I crow up between a kind of private zoo, my father had every kind of animals you can hold in Germany, also some reptiles and 6 of them ware snakes in terrarium. I know how to handle reptiles and also snakes, I just need a save catching tool as I don’t like this self made stuff, they are danger and can go wrong. Especially the young snakes are danger to touch with hand as they are very fast to bite, also bites from small no – venomous can be very pain full.

Yes to relocate a snake is sometimes not the best, but if she is in a mooban like in the one I live, she has not a good chance to survive. I’m surprised to see them here inside anyway.

If you like to relocate snakes or any other wild animal, you need to find a place that is similar for the species and can find also food to survive, so don’t just drop it in a national park next to the street.

I think a fishing tool shops could have snake catcher tools???

Good day all,

A slightly different topic. I recently had this snake around my house. I had a similar one couple years ago much bigger that was coiled up on the top of a sliding door. By the colour I suspect it is not a very friendly one but I am not a specialist.

Would anyone know what species is this one ?

Thanks,

I think this one is a Ahaetulla prasina (Oriental Whip snakes)
