Not a clear picture, but can anyone identify this guy?

Looks like a rat snake looking at the size.

Size and relatively smaller head. It is a rat snake.

A beautiful rat snake, one of the most beautiful specimen to grace our planet

What about merging this thread with the rat-damage thread? ;)

Whilst I haven't had any recent damage to my car, I could still do with a rat snake or two in my garden!

Can anyone please confirm what snake is this ?.

That looks rat snake to me. I ran over a giant one couple of days back (I was on my bicycle) and it was scary few seconds for both of us. Luckily no major injury.

That's a Checkered Keelback, non venomous. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Checkered_keelback

This one was found inside the lift of our apartment at Chennai. What snake is it ?

Oooh, nice one, Buff Striped Keelback, I guess?

We got this visitor in my apartment last week.



Looks so good in its prime pose. It was caught and sent away to forest. :)

hello friends, on my recent trip to Devbag beach resort at Karwar, we came across this beautiful small guy, can any body help with his name ?

The beautiful small guy is the deadliest snake in India, the Russel's viper. Hope you didn't get too close. Some mistake it for a small python and almost lose their life on that mistake.

wow , thanks for the response. I had my doubts once i saw its triangular face and the scale patterns.

This guy was on the path very frequently used by tourists.

I was carrying a 55-200 lens and the pictures were taken from a distance with full camera zoom.

Saw this baby snake in the temple today, it was very aggresive. Suspect its a baby krait, not really sure, any ideas. Anyway its looks dangerous, even though is a small one.
