properjob Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 This chap was just outside our door today. Can anyone identify it and tell me if it is dangerous to humans or small dogs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrjlh Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 Flying Green Snake or Golden Tree Snake. Totally harmless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strange Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 Black and white website. Likely not poisionious. Head too small. Likely tree/garden snake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
properjob Posted October 15, 2016 Author Share Posted October 15, 2016 It's green and gold and black, if that helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truscott Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 Golden Tree snake. Harmless to humans (and small dogs). Lovely photo by the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayned Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 Golden tree snake. Non venomous to humans unless you are allergic, rear fanged, but very aggressive if cornered. It will bite.. I've been bitten at least three times getting them out of the house and protecting the furniture and things from my aggressive wife with a big bamboo stick who wants to off it!

daoyai Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 The photos illustrate nicely what i have observed to be a somewhat uhique aspect of this creature's single mindedness. He is gonna eat that frog and is unconcerned that you are there. I have had many encounters where they don't seem to care about human presence. I even had one slither across me as I lay in my hammock on his way up the post to hunt tokay in the roof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

puukao Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 NOT TOTALLY Harmless..... Never 100% harmless......nothing is..... It could jump down your throat, cause problems........jump in your soup, then jump out without you knowing; leaving bacteria....the list goes on!!!! but 90% harmless....

Unbelievable for me, but very, very interesting, what you're saying. - In (or around) our house in the garden these days we have three of them. They really feel disturbed when, by chanche, I'll see them hunting a gecko-gecko (or duckto). Even as they absolutely don't like to lose their prey, they will. - OP, by the way, great pictures!
