pryortuck Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 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, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rene123 Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steffi Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 (edited) 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. Edited January 17, 2013 by steffi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are Keelbacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
