tweezer Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 Hi there, My wife found this one in our garden the other day. It's at least a meter long I think. I know the pic is not quite clear, but can anyone identify this one? It's actually a cool color, seems to have an interesting head shape. I'm most curious whether its dangerous in any way... we've got a couple dogs. Thanks! T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob13 Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 Looks like either a whip snake or a white lipped viper. http://www.siam-info.com/english/snales_common.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tweezer Posted May 5, 2016 Author Share Posted May 5, 2016 Judging by where it is hanging out in the bush, looks more like the whip snake. I hope it's that and not the viper! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dick dasterdly Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 Like everyone else, I enjoy wildlife identification threads - but felt the need to mention that its pointless worrying about your dogs. If there's one dangerous snake in your garden, there are others nearby.... Fortunately (and fingers crossed that this holds true), dogs seem to be far better at recognising dangerous snakes than we are - and keep away. Having said this, it still frightens the life out of me that one of my dogs will tread on one accidentally when running around . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AjarnNorth Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 The head looks more like a whip snake too. Cool.... yes, it looks "skinny" like the whip snake too. Matter seems settled, but for future reference Vern from Thailandsnakes.com gets back really fast with questionable IDs if you send pics. PS: Like the profile pic. Europe 72. "We are everywhere."
