These were at my nieces house in Tha Yang. Not Hua Hin but close. One King Cobra and one ratsnake.

Cobra slips into trainer’s pants during school lesson. :run:

A spitting cobra slithering up a trainer’s leg is exposed as a colleague carefully lowers the man’s pants during a snake awareness session at a school in Bueng Kan......

(This would qualify for News of the Weird as well). :laugh:

I used to get occasional golden tree snakes and kukris in my garden, and once a baby hooded cobra, but since a new housing resort was built next to ours (low density, could be worse) they've disappeared. I really miss them. Also the bullfrogs are gone, I loved to hear them after heavy rain.

But we get quite a few little tree shrews skipping around now which is nice. I think they're too small to eat snake eggs and bullfrogs, so I guess they're not to blame; it's the destruction of their habitat which caused the disappearance from my garden I think.
