One thing about Kukris is that although they aren't really aggressive, when they do bite they make slashing bites that really lacerate flesh. A Kukri bite bleeds like few other snake bites.

I found a Striped Kukri snake many years ago when I was in Borneo. At the time, there were no books or anything for SE Asia/Indonesia (and certainly no internet) so I always wondered what that gorgeous DOR was. I only figured it out about 3 years ago.
