Snakes!

The scales in the head seem to match. So maybe they go through different colour patterns through their lives?

As far as I know, many snakes do change colour schemes as they age. They also have different behaviours at different life stages, due to size changes, so that makes sense.

Ya. A snake that’s scared of heights

Residents found this in our building’s garage…b2. Fire department came and took it away.

Any idea what kind of snake it was and if it is venomous?

I was out walking this morning somewhere between Puzi and Dongshi next to a river when this guy was crossing. I was a bit of a way back and had to zoom in as I didn’t want to get any closer! Can anyone identify? I walk my dog along this path regularly and this is the first snake i’ve seen in 3 years here.

A family member took a look and was certain it is a king rat snake. Glad I saw it from a distance!

They arent dangerous, but they STANK something awful. Careful of the cloaca when catching :joy:

I’d think so.

I probably saw an adult specimen last weekend in the city.

And a Taiwan coral snake in the Southern mountains.

This beauty was slithering across the bike path in front of me around 7:00PM. By the time I realized what it was, stopped my bike, and got out my phone to record, it had already disappeared into the grass. Luckily though I spotted it going up a wall. Can anyone identify what kind it is? @onionsack ?
