I saw this snake near the exit of a very wet cave. I'm guessing it's one of the Keelback family snakes, but I can't find it in my only book.

Maybe a yellow spotted keelback? (I don't know - just guessing!)

Yep, right after my snake book I was on Google Images... nothing quite matched. I was guessing something in the keelback family. The Yellow-spotting doesn't seem to have the more defined bar on the back, though I guess coloration can vary.

Thanks!

OK, one of my mates identified it for me. This is a Triangle Keelback (mildly venomous) snake that we spotted near the exist of the Nam Taloo Cave in Khao Sok. For more info see http://www.ecologyasia.com/verts/snakes/triangle_keelback.htm

Ah yes, that's more like it! Amazing how many variations there are.
