But that is literally off the top of my head. It certainly isn't a new world natricine.

I'd have to go with Chris on this...though the red on the body has me wondering. The head and neck markings are right on.

Definetly a Checkered Keelback snake.
I am going to guess that is what the other people said. I just don't know the scientific names for snakes. As I imagine most people don't.
Why fill my brain with MORE junk? It's already overloaded as it is! LOL

Not Nerodia. Believe me on that one. That looks nothing like Nerodia.

It doesnt look like R. tigrinus to me, but if it is, for christ's sake dont hold it like that! Unless of course you want ot bleed out of every orrifice before you die...

Well how about for starteers,.,.where was it found? What country? What was the habitat? Anything that could help to distiguish between the others. Still going on Keelback. But wouldnt want to take a huge risk on it.

It definitely looks like a X. piscator or Rhabdophis tigrinis. You will want to find out for sure. R. tigrinus has caused human fatalities!
