Just a pic – wanted to share this Thailand snake before I forgot….
Rhabdophis subminiatus, Red-necked keelback. Venomous and dangerous.
A boy, 12 yrs old, in Phuket, Thailand was in the Bangkok hospital for 2 weeks after a bite from this snake. The venom specifically attacks the kidneys.
Once thought to be harmless – these snakes are now considered dangerous. Don't have one as a pet…

Yes, red necked keelback. Venomous and dangerous. Do not keep as a pet. They love frogs and fish. They are diurnal and nocturnal – I've seen them active during both. They are found 6 inches off the ground in bushes, or up the side of steep limestone mountains. They love water. They are very common in Thailand. Their venom attacks the kidneys and there is NO antivenin for these Thailand keelbacks. A boy a few months back was in the hospital in Phuket and nearly died from a bite. Be careful around these snakes.
