cornishcarlos Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 Loatian Wolf snake? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThaiWx Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 (edited) Loatian Wolf snake? That's my guess as well. Sure looks like a Wolf snake. Non-poisonous. Similar in appearance to the highly venomous Banded Krate but the Krate has a triangular shape body and different head markings.

Showbags Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 Actually....someone with kids, or just scared of snakes could be forgiven for whacking this one.....considering it does look like the deadliest snake in Thailand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThaiWx Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 (edited) red touch yellow; kill a fellow red touch black; friend of jack.... Isn't that saying used for the U.S's Coral snake and Scarlet King snake/Milk snake? Edited April 7, 2014 by ThaiWx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry got no kids , just a small dog that I love more than I love snakes .. My motto is if its leaving I let it go , if its coming, its going to get whacked ! I ll figure out later if its poisonous or not .... But now I do swerve to miss them in the road if that's any consolation !!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beetlejuice Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Why do you people always have to kill them? Easy enough to get these snakes out of the area with a little understanding and some patience. It is us who are encroaching on their territory, not the other way round. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saan Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 red touch yellow; kill a fellow red touch black; friend of jack.... This little ditty might apply in Thailand but is not good advice in Australia where the red belly black snake resides in large numbers on the east coast and is venomous. While not one of Australia's poisonous snakes it can be fatal particularly if a child or a dog is bitten.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
worgeordie Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 The OP must be very proud ,killing a completely harmless snake, while if he just put a little effort into studying the snakes of Thailand he could easily recognize the handful of ones that could be a threat, The Krait ,deadly but very docile,the Cobra,in all my time here I have never seen one,seen lots of other snakes,but they were always going in the other direction,which snakes do if the encounter a person,snakes do not willfully attack people in Thailand at least. regards Worgeordie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am more worried about getting bitten by one of those huge centipedes or stung by a scorpion, neither should do you in but you're more apt to encounter one.

MESmith Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 I never kill snakes, even the deadly ones. Mind you, my dogs don't follow my example & frequently leave ripped apart snakes on the lawn for me to clear up. Lost count of the number of cobras. Most recent one was a banded krait. I know snakes keep the rodent population in check, but the dogs do a similar job. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was like the fastest gun in the west - one day she wasn't the fastest gun, just a dead dog from a snake bite. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
