does the : pour some boiling water over it, not work anymore ?

cross ref #22

No.

Where was the video taken? I saw a snake just like the one in the video but it didn't have its hood out, just crossing a path in front of me. It was the same color and size, I was thinking it was a cobra but wasn't sure.

It was in my car port. Looks like it has already lost the last 20 - 30cm of its tail. I saw it later in the storm drain outside the garden wall.

Edit:

It's just a common or garden (wink.png) Asian cobra or monocled cobra (Naja kaouthia).

This is one of my information sources.

The other is a WHO databank about snakes.

One is an instruction of a friend at Mai Rim snake farm, where they take the poison of snakes to develop antitoxins.

One is the health station in my rural area.

One is the Red Cross hospital, where I can send people for antitoxins.

One is my experience as "snake captor" with a special snake stick.

I'm grassroots doctor in a Buddhist Wat where there is no other doctor.

Snake paranoia is a farang mental illness.

I thought it might be something to do with alpha bungarotoxin, but I'm obviously mistaken. sorry

I think it should be a

I've been a little bit surprised at the new beautifull decoration in my bathroom.

She was not scared at all, willingly crept on the shovel I offered, and was happy to be back

in the garden trees...

This one has been a little harder to rescue since she was trapped in the sieve of the shower plughole.

OOps...forgot the attachments. Look at the following post

Yes, it's possible, but the behaviour is to "peaceful".

The lady "fighting" with her snake corresponds to the more "aggressive" behaviour of the snake I mentioned before. (Two times they slipped away when I wanted to catch them).

The jawns of your snake are very small, the jawns of the topic snake are larger.

How does something like this make the news?

So after its happened she goes down to the newspaper office and tells them of her story in hopes of it getting published?

Next time my wife rids the bedroom of a tokay geko ill be sure to notify all the news agencies! :D

Sorry. I'm getting a bit twitchy. Are we sure it is not a case of Grüne Schmuckbaumnatter?

May be. We never can be sure, local variations can avoid a special classification.
