I killed a cobra a few weeks ago in my front doorway. I came back from a smoke, and there it was trying to go through the doorway.
Condemn me if you will for killing it, but I don't want venomous snakes slinking in and me accidentally stepping on it, for it to then (understandably) bite me or my wife. I have no problem with non-venomous snakes. Had it been a sunbeam snake (one was killed in the soi last year...so sad, such a beautiful creature) or python or harmless thing, I would not have killed it.
Then a week later a python took a neighbour's cat. Neighbours called the tessaban and they sent the snake team around who took it away.

I'd love to see another sunbeam snake. Truly wondrous colours.
