Snake identification

[SOMeTOM]

My little hairy miss, just pulled out from under the bed this beast, does anyone knows it's name or if it is venomous at all (as it might have bitten my doggie during the struggle)?, thanks.

[daoyai]

llooks like a cobra of some sort

[HeavyDrinker]

Looks like a King Cobra. Shame you had to mangle it.

[CharlieH]

Daughter tells me "ngoo hao" is very dangerous ! definitely venomous.

Sorry mate, cant agree, if something that dangerous entered my home or came within distance of a family member it would be killed on sight.

90% sure it is a banded kukri snake. Non venomous eats bugs, frogs etc. Other possibility a wolf snake again non venomous. No way is it a cobra. Another big kill for the Great White Hunter.

My little hairy miss...

Who is hairy little miss?

Who is hairy little miss?

Presumably the dog ?

I thought he meant the wife. But I'll await clarification.

The photo color seems a bit off, but the close up of the head and scales looks like a cobra to me as well.

Cobras are usually brown to black and their tongue is usually pink. If the OP opens the mouth then we can see the huge fangs.

Sorry but i disposed off it already, also i don't think i want to do that either, i will keep my doubt and snake policy, if it comes into the house/land, it's bye bye snake.....i am aware that many are not dangerous, but the problem is that i am not so good in recognizing them, i usually have lots of bright green ones climbing banana trees, lately i got a few of this too.

I don't know if it makes much difference or not, but when it came head to head with the Little White Hunter ( my dog is the size of about 3 cats, maybe 2 and a half, ah ah), i clearly heard a loud hissing sound, so strong i thought it was a cat down there, then, little missus bite the beast and started banging it on the floor, left and right to presumably avoiding being bitten back, then i grab a machete and end up the struggle.

Doggie it's still okay, so, either didn't get bitten or it was not venomous.

Thanks

Keep an eye on the dog. If its paws are in the air in the morning and it's stiff then it's probably dead.

My wife says it's a "ngoo sing" some kind if fish snake that they eat. It's not poisonous she says.

Holy crap. Imagine if that crawled up into the bed with you at night!

Your dog deserves a reward. Smakko's.

It's a baby King Cobra 100%.

i love the way you say 90% sure, then you go onto say another kill for the big white hunter,,

well my freind i take it you dont have children here in thailand,?

well i do, and if they come here, well 90% isnt good enough, they get killed,

[stoneyboy]

Well, glad you all, and the dog, are alright, even as there's some disagreement over what type of snake it is/was.

[Beetlejuice]

Without a doubt that`s a cobra, deadly venomous. The hood is clearly visible on the one killed by the OP.

I normally don`t agree with killing snakes, but in this case the OP was well justified.

[soihok]

I thought he meant the wife. But I'll await clarification.

Yeah, I thought he meant that also.

[cmsally]

It looks quite like a rat snake, but the scales look very like a cobra's. Difficult to tell from pics

[canuckamuck]

By the pattern of scales on the head I am certain it is a king cobra. Enough venom to down an elephant.

According to the pictures for black cobra in Google, I would say its absolutely that.

Too bad you had to kill it but I understand that you did.

The snake in his pictures doesn't have bands at all. In my opnion and Google's massive archive of snake pictures of kukri snakes proves you wrong, sorry.

It absolutely looks like a black cobra, highly venumoues.

imagine if the wife had grabbed hold of it oh darling

[neverdie]

All show and not much go, the Cobra's. Get yourselves into the seat of an old cruiser bouncing along a dirt outback road in Australia and an Eastern Brown Snake pops it head out from under the passenger seat, angry as all shit and happy to chase you out of the car irregardless of the speed your travlin at.

Cobras are pussy snakes !
