Green Oriental Whip Snake

Found this on a hike today – amazing colors and patterns on this snake. The snake guy at siam-info.de says it’s a “Ahaetulla prasina (Oriental Whip snakes” and found all over Thailand. Mildly poisonous but only if you let him chew on you a while.

If you need to identify a snake – poisonous or otherwise – check out his site, he has photos of many of the snakes he has – and identifies others too. Great resource.

I’ll have videos of me playing with this snake up at my YouTube channel shortly: thaipulsedotcom
