ThailandBert Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Not sure if I could put his number here so sent you a PM with it. As I am surrounded by jungle I get lots here but I have found if I leave them alone they leave me. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rooo Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Can you please ask him why he is putting bags on it's head?For ease of handling or suffocating it? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigC Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 think to stop it biting. once inside the main bag the small platicbags can come off and they can sit in those bigger bags for days quite content. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThailandBert Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 My thinking on it is that maybe it is a cobra ? I can't really tell from the video. Some cobras can spit venom hence the bag over the head ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wellred Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 That thing was huge! What happens to these snakes which are caught? Are they let back into the wild elsewhere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear that Phil the snake man does release them in the wild. For others I can't say, but I heard that some take them to the snake farm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some times people catch them then give them to Phil He has a patron for snakes and would not harm them He is also amazing at finding them almost like he knows exactly where the snake is before one even tells him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wellred Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 They ate it? I thought they only did that in Vietnam. I'm a veggie anyway but I feel sorry for the poor snake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samuijimmy Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 They ate it? I thought they only did that in Vietnam. I'm a veggie anyway but I feel sorry for the poor snake. I've seen snakes being skinned to be eaten here on Samui and in Songkhla, a number of times, by locals.... enough to to make anyone become vegetarian, although I've heard it taste like chicken Vietnam is more famous for eating dogs, but too that goes on in parts of Thailand as well ...... again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one that I ate was deep fried. We ate the bones as well When I worked in China the guys/girls there always tried to give me something horrible to see if I was up for it. yes I was - I have eaten all sorts of horrible things. a tad. Construction workers found a 4.5 meter reticulated python on the plot at the bottom of my garden last week. Not sure if they ate it or sold it. (My money is on the 'ate it' bit.). They haven't found the 3 meter long cobra yet (maybe the python did?). It's like a zoo at my place sometimes. Here is a photo of the monitor lizard (two meters?) in my pool. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThailandBert Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 I saw one of those the other day. As I was riding up the mountain to my house I turned a corner to see this thing the size of an Alsatian dog running across the road to disappear into the jungle. Up till then I hadn't realised just how big some of the things are that are running around in the jungle. We get lots of snakes, especially king cobras but the dogs take care of them quite easily having watched them dispatch one a few times. They seem to be the only snakes they kill. The rest they seem to ignore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I can say is I am glad I have finished my dinner before reading this.... Hope the monitor lizard did not poop in the pool.... ... Out of the water they usually run to fast to get a pic... many around where you stayed in Mae Haad.... Now back to topic please ..... or Rooo, SBK or this new guy Raro are going to be on "our case" tomorrow night .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
