Klong Song Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 I know, who needs another snake id. I get a lot of snakes in my garden and most are easily identified but this one eludes me. Possibly a copperhead racer but not sure. Over a meter long with strong markings towards the tail and less so towards the head and quite fast. It got stuck under the gate and was wounded but I think it will survive. Any ideas guys? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mario2008 Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 Might be a banded Kukri snake, non-lethal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrjlh Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 (edited) Pattern is more consistant with a "Dog-faced Water Snake (Schneider's Bockadam)". Can't see the head clearly. http://www.ecologyasia.com/verts/snakes/dog-faced_water-snake.htm Edited June 21, 2015 by Mrjlh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you ever been bitten by a snake, or seen a small child that has been bitten? +1 Snakes give me the creeps. The banded krait [ngoo sahm lee-um] can be quite deadly and kill you within 30 minutes. The cause of death is that your muscles are paralyzed and your diaphragm can't work any longer to pull oxygen into your lungs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wayned Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 Had a 2 meter rat snake in my house yesterday. I caught it with my home made snake snare and relocated it in the sugar cane fields down the road. I had to have Pa help me coax it out as it went behind the large china cabinet. I would have taken a picture but I had my hands full mostly with keeping Pa from "tenderizing" it with his bamboo stick and destroying anything in it's path. The last time he helped was when there were 3 golden tree snakes in the aircon and the new housing cost me 3500 baht. The snares are easy to make. A 2 meter length of PVC, and end cap and a length of rope. Drill two 1/4 inch holes side by side in the end cap, feed the rope through the pipe and through one of the holes. Then feed it back through the other hole and knot it. Then install the end cap. Don't install the end cap until the rope is fed through and don't glue it if it fits tight by hammering it on - in case the rope needs to be replaced.

jmccarty Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 I would have moved this one to outside of my village walls with my snake stick. But the security guard smashed it to death before I knew it was in my front garden. Anyone on what variety it is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meatboy Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Thanks Meatboy! My little dog wanted to make a go at it. Probably would have lost against this. our boy is 25kilo and he wasnt toooooo keen to take him on. these can immitate a cobra by puffing up their kneck so they are sometimes mistaken for one. so when you got a 2mtr.plus snake and you have to protect your beloved you havnt time to get the book out to id.it.
