Nice post. Very informative.
Living here, in Thailand, snakes are a way of life.
I have no fear of them, but respect them.
Some snakes get out of the way given the chance ( cobra's)
We have a Malayan pit viper sneaking around the bungalow, at the moment.
Not good.
Live and let live, but the pit viper will be meeting with sharp end of a machete on the end of a bamboo stick !
