Field Notes

Description:

Beautiful slender snake. They are quite long. Yellow belly with big belly scales.
Very easily recognisable drawings on the head. Big eyes.

Habitat:

Thailand

Notes:

We have been seeing these snakes around our house for as long as we live here. We regularly find snakeskin in the fusebox, where one comes and scraped of his dead skin.
I think this is a juvenile as it does not seem as thick ad the mature one. They are very shy and non poisenous. They are rearfanged.
