May 18, 201313 yr Found two of these in the yard over the last two weeks. The first one was seen one week after catching a monocled cobra around the same area of the yard.
May 19, 201313 yr That could be a Chinese Rat snake, Ptyas korros. The large eyes are pretty telling, but I am not 100%.

After googling Chinese Rat Snake, and reviewing the pictures, I am confident these are Chinese Rat Snakes and probably not bad to keep around. Thanks again for the reply. I guess it is possible the cobra previously found may have been hunting these....

Snakes are the best by me, they stay out of the way, they run like hell when they see you, and they eat all the things we don't like

My primary concern is for the safety and well being of my two English Bulldogs. For sure the snakes try to avoid us humans but I would hate for one of my "boys" to come across one, especially a venomous one. I guess I'm a bit nervous after catching the cobra a few weeks ago. Now that I know what this one is I can breath a bit more easily. Toads aren't good for my boys either so I prefer the Chinese Rat Snakes....
May 20, 201313 yr I saw one cobra as well, in issan. It was actually very beautiful. It did have an kind eerie, confident aura to it though. I saw a bunch of chickens freaking out, I looked up and there he was.... and there he went too. Supposedly Thailand has the largest venomous snake in the world, in the king cobra. Not sure if that is the one I saw? Anyway, good luck with the dogs.... I'm sure they love where they are at Edited May 20, 201313 yr by utalkin2me
