Lantern Posted October 14, 2023 Share Posted October 14, 2023 I've had an eight foot Python living in my car port for the last two weeks. Hoping it sticks around. I have a few possums that may move out now. 1 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This atttacts all sorts of vermin to our place including possums. Since I start using a Pestrol device a few months ago we haven't had anymore visitors. I was skeptical when I bought 2 of them (one for each house) but they do seem to work. https://www.pestrol.com.au/buy-online/pestrol-rodent-free/ 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They even say there will be less snakes around because there is less food for them. A bit of bullshit advertising I think but overall I am happy with the product.

lazarus Posted October 28, 2023 Author Share Posted October 28, 2023 Snakes of Chiang Mai Hello, could you please identify the two Pit vipers for me? Saw them at Doi Inthanon 2 days ago on the Pha Dok Sieo Nature Trail and I'm not sure if they are female Poppe's Pit Vipers or Guo's green Pit Vipers. Thanks for your help. https://www.facebook.com/groups/snakesofchiangmai 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lazarus Posted October 29, 2023 Author Share Posted October 29, 2023 Snakes of Isaan 5 klicks East of Kalasin, Ban Lek My dog's focused on a spot and froze to it. It was (I believe) an adolescent Siamese Spitting cobra, but its body seemed more greenish than black and it appears that the "monocle" on its hood is not fully oval. Is the latter due to poor photography or do they change colors/hues with age? I found out from the "Snakes of Isaac" FB page that the snake is a "spectacled cobra" and not a Siamese Spitting cobra. Hence the differences I saw. https://www.facebook.com/groups/snakesofisaan/permalink/2803830516424534/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lazarus Posted October 30, 2023 Author Share Posted October 30, 2023 This big rattlesnake was noticed just outside a door at a home in Lincoln this evening, while the folks were letting their dog out. Thankfully they saw the snake before their dog ventured in it's direction. This female rattlesnake likely lost her winter den to some nearby grading work to make way for a new house, and was actually seen about a week ago near a different door. https://www.facebook.com/PlacerSnakeRemoval 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lazarus Posted November 8, 2023 Author Share Posted November 8, 2023 Whales sinking boats near Gibraltar is an ongoing story. Here's the latest chapter: Orcas Sink Fourth Boat Off Iberia, Unnerving Sailors Orcas caused enough damage to sink a yacht in the Strait of Gibraltar last week. A small pod has been slamming boats in recent years, worrying skippers chartering routes closer to shore. An orca seen near the boats of Moroccan fishermen in the Strait of Gibraltar in 2015.

lazarus Posted November 10, 2023 Author Share Posted November 10, 2023 Snakes of Chiang Mai https://www.facebook.com/groups/121136308469728/ By far the biggest banded krait I have ever seen. How long can they grow? Mae Rim. The banded krait (Bungarus fasciatus) is a species of elapids endemic to Asia, from Indian Subcontinent through Southeast Asia to Southern China.[1][2][3] With a maximum length exceeding 2 m (6 ft 7 in), it is the longest krait with a distinguishable gold and black pattern.[4] While this species is generally considered timid and docile, resembling other members of the genus, its venom is highly neurotoxic which is potentially lethal to humans. Although toxicity of the banded krait based upon murine LD50 experiments is lower than that of many other kraits, its venom yield is the highest due to its size.[5] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banded_krait 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
