We have a shelter for cats in the Phuthamonton Sai 4 area and discovered this snake this morning trying to get into the cat pen.

Can anyone tell me the type of snake it is?

Thanks,

It looks remarkably like a cobra...a King Cobra by the looks of it too.

Be careful, if the mogs get curious they may get bitten.

Looks like a Keelback to me. Keelbacks are pretty snakes. Cobra's don't have the interesting markings around their head. Kraits are usually banded, and vipers have triangular shaped heads. King cobras have a blunt nose.

So in this "assumption" did you actually look at the TWO photos in this thread showing the "interesting markings" especially form TYWAIS.............its a Cobra

That picture does suggest it's a King Cobra. How long was the snake? It would be interesting to see the markings on the body.

I know a little about snakes (as impending post will show) but this is not a Keelback.

These are Keelbacks.
