looks like a cat snake! Boiga species.. mildly venomous and rear fanged. In fact it could be quite a rarity.... boiga jaspidea

And it does flatten sideways as you said.

Wait, there's money in those snakes!

We got a baby one sneaked into the house a while ago. Like a boa, so not poisonous, but more rare according to the neighbour. He took it and came back the next day, saying he got 500 Bahts for it at the pet shop, and if we found any more, please let him know. :o

Hi,

I hope you have not harmed this snake yet....I just saw your post today! This is a coperhead racer or also common as a radiated rat snake. It is harmless to you. It is non venomous but is a constrictor to rats and small prey. It is a gorgeous snake and you are lucky to have one close buy...I envy you. They can grow upwards of 6 ft long. Nothing to worry about I just hope you do not have larger cobras come by looking for a meal cause they will eat him..

Cheers D

I love them too, once we had one close my wife found a guy who catched it and brought it in the temple, there the snake is safe (it is a special tempel I got told and it stays in outside free in the tempel area.

First people kill the spiders, snakes, frogs (they eat them) some other animals I don't know the english names, too and than they wounder that they have so many rats, mouse, bugs and mosquitos, than they use poisions and wounder why their children get sick with things which were unkown 50 years ago. Strange world....
