sandyf Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 A couple of days ago I went to check the pumps on the sprinkler system and found the one on the well was seized. I pulled off the impeller cover to get at the shaft and there was a small snake on the impeller. Gave me quite a start as it could easily have bitten me through the vent holes on the cover, remember to wear gloves next time. Tried to identify it on google but not sure, could be a baby golden tree snake, any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jai Dee Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 It looks a bit like a baby Blue Krait... which are highly venemous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jai Dee Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 I've done a bit more searching on the web, and perhaps it could be a non-venomous snake of similar color and pattern such as Dryocalamus davisonii or Lycodon subcinctus but the banding is different. Dryocalamus davisonii Lycodon subcinctus Bungarus candidus: 'Blue krait' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandyf Posted November 12, 2015 Author Share Posted November 12, 2015 Looks a bit like the one in this thread. http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/838764-snake-in-the-condo/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woody1 Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Just kill it! Why take the chance on information provided here? There are far more experienced people that have found out the hard way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simon43 Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Just kill it! Why? I don't follow your logic. Whether it be venomous or non-venomous, what is your reason for killing it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My logic?Since biblical days snakes have been bad news! The saying, "a snake in the grass" didn't just turn up from someone's imagination. The only good snake, is a dead snake.

Crossy Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 We find Golden Tree Snakes in the works often, they really love the mower and brush cutter engines, scarper PDQ when the engine is started. Beautiful, fast, harmless. Why kill it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
