Hedghog Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Looking at the head markings,I would say a Kukri (not sure of the spelling). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheryl Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Moving this to the plant, pets forum as our resident snake experts tend to hang out there. May be a rat snake, but see what they say... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kannot Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 https://bangkokherps.wordpress.com/category/snakes/kukri-snakes/ Striped kukri, you dint have to smash its head in so remember for next time, it will bite but offer you its tail as a defence (coils it up its bright red) and hope you try and bash that instead of its head, not dangerous to "umans" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petedk Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 How big can these snakes get? It looks pretty similar to one in my garden but that is much much bigger. It was curled up but it must have been 2 to 3 metres long. The head was 6 to 10 cms wide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jing Joe Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 (edited) For what its worth to Aussies; just that head marking on the striped Kukri is a bit like juvenile brown snakes here and even when 200 to 300 mm long they are deadly like their parents. Don't know at what age that head marking goes. Just saying. Edited February 2, 2016 by Jing Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know at what age that head marking goes. Just saying. It is a a house striped kukri ( ngu gnawk long lai) Latin name: oligodon darsolateralis) and it is absolutely harmless. Go to a Se-Ed bookshop or Asia books and ask for Lai Gnu Thai unfortunately it is all in Thai but descriptives and photos are included, toxicity etc, location....

Yep , thats what I think after consulting SNAKES AND OTHER REPTILES OF THAILAND , grows up to 44cm long. Harmless little snake. Hands up who thought it was a baby King Cobra.

If it is a Kurki, he obviously does not live in Northern Thailand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was curled up but it must have been 2 to 3 metres long. The head was 6 to 10 cms wide. 45cm Then "mine" is not a Kukri as it was certainly much bigger. I hope to get a photo, but can't find it. The dogs barked a lot last night, but by the time I got out it had disappeared. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biplanebluey Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 HaHA-------- one says it is "completely harmless " then another sas it can easily kill you and then the " curling up in little kids shoes and killing them" poster arrives----------- please make sure you know what you are talking about before you spout off--------- this is a serious question from the OP and he deserves a intelligent reply Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pokoal2000 Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 What ever it is, why would you kill it? Just take it out, and watch out what you are stepping on.We have plenty snakes here and they have right to live same as you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
