July 29, 201412 yr Just noticed from the kitchen that a unwelcome visitor tried to sn(e)ake in between gate and perimeter wall. Could scare it away, but not sure if it will return or not. It was about 1 meter long, very bright green with a light green belly and on top it had black ( or dark green) lines in a honey comb pattern. Any advise about what kind of snake and if I should be on the watch out ?
July 29, 201412 yr Could be any one of a number of green Pit Vipers, steer well clear and get your local Snake Man to remove for you. http://www.siam-info.com/english/snakes_common.html "I don't want to know why you can't. I want to know how you can!"
July 29, 201412 yr Sounds like the deadly 1m Honeycomb Green Snake, I could be wrong though ? Photo next time
July 29, 201412 yr White-lipped Pit Viper Comes to mind as they bright green but could be wrong. steer clear.
July 29, 201412 yr Author Looked at some pictures on the web and yes it looks like a green viper. It's gone for now, but do they have a habit of returning to the same place ?
July 29, 201412 yr If he finds a meal he will be back. "I don't want to know why you can't. I want to know how you can!"
July 29, 201412 yr Author If he finds a meal he will be back. No animals on the property, and he didn't get in yet, he was just trying. I went for the head with a spade, but he pulled it inside the gate, and got a small piece of it's tail. Then it went away, and however I opened the gate, couldn't detect it anymore, so it seems to be fast.
July 29, 201412 yr Maybe he was trying to return your remotes Well it did last until Post #8. But there will be no more remote or gerbil posts will there? "I don't want to know why you can't. I want to know how you can!"

July 29, 201412 yr No worries Jock, I was sorely tempted to mention the 'R' word "I don't want to know why you can't. I want to know how you can!"
July 29, 201412 yr Maybe he was trying to return your remotes Well it did last until Post #8. But there will be no more remote or gerbil posts will there? Tsk. I was just formulating a nice reply to "It's gone for now, but do they have a habit of returning to the same place ?" Never mind.
July 29, 201412 yr If there are mice or rats or frogs/toads around the area of your home then that is what it is looking for. I would not be too concerned. It would be very strange for it to try and enter your home as they usually try and stay away from people.

I hope so because it's only 2 hours and it gets already very stressful watching that gate, or when walking outside and a jing jok runs over the wall. Should have killed the bastard.

Just to digress, as I'm sure the thread will anyway, and the ID of the OP has been done......what happens to snakes that eat poisonous toads?
July 29, 201412 yr Author Is it snake time of the year or what ? Just went to the pumphouse, when I open the door there is another snake between floor and door. Dark green with yellow bands over it's body. Maybe 50 cm long and thin but long tongue I could see. Before i could get the spade it escapes into the pumphouse. This doesn't make me feel relaxed anymore

July 29, 201412 yr what happens to snakes that eat poisonous toads? They turn into a Gerbil ? They marry a prince ? They turn into a TGAU ? I give up, is this a trick question ?

Just to digress, as I'm sure the thread will anyway, and the ID of the OP has been done......what happens to snakes that eat poisonous toads? This picture was taken around easter 2013, on one of my walks not far from my house. Some snakes are able to eat toads because they are immune to the toxins toads secrete.
July 29, 201412 yr what happens to snakes that eat poisonous toads? They turn into a Gerbil ? They marry a prince ? They turn into a TGAU ? I give up, is this a trick question ? They get warts on their tongue? They turn into a pumpkin? I don't know.
July 29, 201412 yr Possibly a Green Tree Snake. Take a look here if it looks like a match - Green Tree Snake
July 29, 201412 yr This snake was by me and transported up in the forest. Be carefull with this one. My builders wanted to kill it but I told them to take a bambustick and make it fall to the floor were I could catch it. White-Lipped Pit Viper Cryptelytrops albolabris. (Before the name was Trimeresurus albolabris.)
July 29, 201412 yr Possibly a Golden Tree Snake. I read they are bite happy, but non-venemous, at least to humans. I know they move like lightning though. We get a lot up here just outside Khon Kaen. They're a nice looking snake.
