Place in the ecosystem: Helps control rodent populations by eating rats and mice, but also feeds on frogs, lizards, smaller snakes, and birds. Their juveniles are eaten by larger snakes, monitors, and birds of prey.

Hong Kong Snake ID does just that: Identify snakes species endemic to Hong Kong. Our mission is to help inform the casual observer to keep both people and snakes safe and appreciated. Our work on this site is driven by our passion for the natural world and longtime experience with Hong Kong\u2019s natural environment.

This was taken with a G9 cannon, a wonderful light compact camera, that also shoots in RAW - and has video. This little chappy was caught in a conduit along route twisk/TaiMoShan mountain on the 11th october 2008. he appeared very happy in the water, swimming with head raised, and avoiding land.....more like a water snake. My son jack - 12 - leapt down into the water to catch him gently in a net. We carried him to a body of water nearby to release him, where he initially swam down to the rocks (see the video posted before this image) and then away across the water.

Juvenile. Can grow to 150cm in length. Mainly eats Gunther's frogs - but will take rodents and lizards. An active diurnal species. Will dive into water to escape when surprised. Aggresive and will bite vigorously if caught...this little chappy had a good go at us! Commonly sold in in the snake shops here in Hong Kong for its gall bladder and meat.

The Indo-chinese rat snake ranges from India, through Burma, Thailand and Indochina, down to Peninsular Malaysia, Singapore and the islands of Sumatra, Borneo, Java and Bali. The Indochinese Rat Snake prefers open habitat such as grassland, shrubland, open woodland, agriculture, and the open banks of rivers, streams and lakes. It can also be found in trees (especially when resting) and is a good swimmer. Inhabits areas with altitudes up to 3000 meters. This is a semi arboreal (lives in trees) species, that will readily raid nests.

The Indochinese Rat Snake can be identified by its olive coloured body with dark-edged scales, and the faint pale brown banding which occurs on the thickest part of the body. Its eyes are relatively large as to aid hunting and it is one of the largest snakes in its range other than the pythons. The snake has a yellow-white underbelly. Young juveniles have white bands or spots on body. The species can average from 120 -150 cm and reports have been made on it reaching 180 cm plus. The head of the Indochinese Rat Snake is narrow, oval to slightly triangular; body is slender and the tail is long.

The solitary snake is diurnal (active during the day). Even though it hunts during the day it will flee very quickly from human interaction if given the chance. The snake is not known to be aggressive and will only bite if it is agitated or surprised. If it is cornered near water it will usually dive below the water and swim away with its head up.

The Indochinese rat snake is oviparous (lays eggs from which juveniles emerge after incubation) and can lay 6 to 14 eggs, which hatch in about 45-55 days between the months of May and June. Hatchlings are about 25 cm long and with all snakes, the fathers are not involved once the female is pregnant.

Sadly because of little understanding and fear of snakes in general, Indochinese rat snakes are killed for fear of them being venomous. The fact their food source (rodents) have adapted to urban areas where humans live, they have become more of a problem.

Death Adders? I\u2019ve always thought of this as an Australian species, so I was surprised to learn that there is a \u2018healthy population\u2019 (\u2018unhealthy\u2019 would perhaps be a better description for visitors, given that these are among the most dangerous snakes in the world) on tiny Bisa Island, especially as they aren\u2019t found on nearby Bacan or Halmahera. I did some digging and found a Death Adder distribution map, confirming my sense that this is basically an Australian species, with a range that extends into nearby New Guinea \u2014 also part of the Australasian biogeographical region.

It\u2019s quite easy to explain Death Adders in New Guinea. As with Sunda \u2014 the landmass created during the last glacial maximum joining Sumatra, Java and Borneo to mainland Southeast Asia \u2014 the island of New Guinea was once joined to Australia in a landmass known as Sahul. During the last ice age, sea levels were over 100m lower than today, creating land bridges between the present-day islands of the region. New Guinea was connected to the Cape York Peninsula and Arnhem Land, allowing easy movement between the two for thousands of years. This has been a regular occurrence throughout the Pleistocene as ice ages have ebbed and flowed, allowing for the dispersal of a variety of species \u2014 including Death Adders. The Aru Islands south of the Bird\u2019s Head Peninsula in western New Guinea were also part of Sahul during these periods, explaining the presence of the snakes there. The enigmatic Australasian fauna of the Aru Islands \u2014 particularly the spectacular greater bird of paradise \u2014 actually inspired Wallace to interrupt his two stints in South Sulawesi in 1856-1857 with a six-month visit to the remote islands.

What does this tell us about the spread of Death Adders westward into Wallacea? We\u2019re left with three island groups where the snakes are found today that were never connected to Sahul: the Obi Islands (including Bisa) in North Maluku, Seram (and nearby Ambon) in Central Maluku, and the Tanimbar Islands in southern Maluku. All have remained disconnected from the larger continental landmasses of Sunda and Sahul throughout the Pleistocene.

This leaves one final possibility to explain how the Death Vipers reached Snake Island: they were carried there from Sahul over water, most likely from the westernmost part of the Bird\u2019s Head Peninsula, given the prevailing currents due to the Indonesian Throughflow. During the violent tropical storms that are relatively common in the region, wind and heavy rain can wash trees and undergrowth out into the deeper water where they form rafts that can then be carried long distances with terrestrial stowaways like insects, snakes and small mammals. I\u2019ve visited the Raja Ampat region in the northwestern part of the Bird\u2019s Head \u2014 renowned for its spectacular diving \u2014 and floating tree debris is common enough that small boats always have someone on lookout at the bow to avoid crashing into a partially submerged tree trunk.

These would have been rare voyages, governed by prevailing winds and currents, their success unlikely at best. Serendipity, as well as the generally southward rather than westward currents flowing past the Bird\u2019s Head, accounts for the presence of Death Adders on Obi, Bisa and Seram, but not Halmahera. The timing of the arrival is uncertain, though. This would be a fantastic opportunity to use genomic data to date the population split between the Obi and Bisa snakes and their New Guinean counterparts. No detailed genetic work has been done on the Death Adder \u2014 the only scientific paper I could find was concerned with the definition of a new species in northwestern Australia, and it is focused primarily on the phylogenetic analysis of a small number mitochondrial DNA and nuclear loci. A fascinating project for any geneticists prepared to obtain Death Adder tissue samples\u2026\uD83D\uDC0D\uD83E\uDDEC

Ohhh I love salak! While I was doing my film in Indonesia last year one of the scenes was filmed in a salak plantation. Ate plenty of snake fruit in between takes hehehe ?

Snakes are commonly associated with feelings of anxiety or disgust, and snake conservation is often hindered by negative attitudes and perceptions. Although global snake populations are generally in decline, snakebite envenomation (SBE) continues to be recognized as a serious public health issue, particularly in rural areas of tropical and subtropical countries. Data on SBE, a neglected tropical disease, are lacking, and Indonesia, a hotspot of venomous snake diversity, has no snake bite reporting system. We analyzed 127 survey results in Banten, Indonesia with the aim of documenting SBE and exploring the relationships between respondents' experiences, attitudes, and behaviors toward snakes. Nine percent of respondents had experienced SBE, and knowledge of SBE incidents was associated with negative attitudes toward snake populations, with negative attitudes toward snakes associated with a higher likelihood of anti-conservation behavior. Women were more fearful than men, and women and those with lower education levels were more negative toward pythons (Malayopython reticulatus), suggesting that increased knowledge may aid in snake conservation efforts. Universally negative risk beliefs and attitudes toward venomous snakes indicate a need to reduce the threat of SBE in our study area.

Not all sea snakes spend their entire lives in the ocean. Some species, called sea kraits, can live on land or in water and lay their eggs on land. This limits their range because they need to stay near land to reproduce. e24fc04721
