TC, Achalinus are invertebrate (mainly earthworms) feeders. Here's an interesting note about A. spinalis from Goris and Maeda:

"Found in both lowland and mountainous areas, this species is very sensitive to high temperatures and may die from being held too long in the hand. It is also highly sensitive to desiccation, dying within a few hours if placed in a dry environment."

That's great that you were able to find a King Cobra in Thailand........definitely one of my fantasy finds! The only herps I saw in Thailand were several DOR snakes (1 smallish AOR), and I wasn't able to stop and look at them. I hate being in neat places and not being able to herp!
