My Snake Thread with Pics

[Ozcol]

I came across a small Indochinese rat snake at the house the other day and it was very sluggish , not like the usual ones that are gone before you get within a couple of metres of them , on looking closer it had a huge tick on it the size of a baked bean, I then noticed there were 4 more smaller ticks attached , so I knocked it on the head as I doubted it would like a farang to de-tick it and then squashed the ticks.

If you KNEW it was a RAT SNAKE, then why kill it first? If you're from OZ, seems you would know the snake is more valuable alive than dead. Totally WRONG you were and should have caught it and then de-ticked it.

^Likes rats maybe? Those snakes get ticks all the time, shouldn't slow them down much.

This was about 2 years ago, they found this snake in the farm and it was still alive. The village people paralyzed the snake with what I believe were some roots from a banana tree. It was harmless to hold him around my neck but I never knew they could be paralyzed this easily.

Paradise tree snake.
It was residing right next to our restaurant in the Morning Mist Resort in Khao Sok.



Golden flying snakes, there are everywhere. Pictures from Koh Ngai, Koh Chang and Koh Kood.







This one I spotted in Rayong. Not familiar with the species.
