dcnx Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 I ran one of these over once on a back road behind Maya. It was dark and I was going too fast and didn’t see it until the last second. I thought it was a fallen tree and braces for impact, but instead hit it and sort of squished over it and the bump wasn’t that bad. Immediately I stopped and realized it was a huge snake, then it slithered off. It was big enough to easily kill a human. Told the nearby home owners there the next day and they all laughed about it.

Puwa Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 Yikes! That's a massive snake that looks like it could easily consume a small child (or maybe not so small). Whereabouts did you encounter it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bbko Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 Those pythons are big and quick, I drove past one one night on Pattaya's dark side, by the time I turned my car around to go see it, it was off into the brush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reminds me of signs i used to see in Australia mid 60s if you see a snake on the road/track slow down go over it and check in rearview mirror to make sure it is still there, apparently they can roll and flick up into the car undercarriage and finish up in the boot of the car, ready to give you a nice surprise next time you open your boot!

Would not surprise me in the slightest... too many times I have heard stories of things in Australia freaky enough to keep me up at night, lol. And then people can't imagine why it's not high on my priority list of places to visit... 5 minutes ago, yogavnture said: i saw a huge python on ko tao a couple of years ago. but how would one get thier? its an island? maybe it is eating all the cursed tourists that go missing thier? Possibly a former pet. This is a problem in places in the U.S.-- Florida is one I keep hearing about. People get a snake or alligator, when it gets too big (because they didn't do their homework ahead of time...), they flush it or let it go, and there it is in the wild (where it can cause problems if it's not a native species).

sirocco Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 Do you know that snakes like beer or slightly alcoholic drinks. Besides, in principle, all animals like alcohol. As long as we cut bushes, trees and other plants for crappy constructions, we will have more and more wildlife that will approach homes. Before the climate problem, let's see that of flora and fauna.

Our cats have never shown the slightest interest in wine, beer or liquor. Now, dogs and beer are a different story. Back in the U.S. we had problems with slugs and snails attacking the hostas. Read that if you put out saucers of beer near the hosta plants at night, it would attract the slugs and snails and they'd drown in the beer. Tried that one evening, then let the dog out for her evening duty before we went to bed. She came back with beer on her breath, definitely acting loopy.

sirocco Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 Hello, Exact for slugs and snails, for beer. It seems, with crushed egg shells. Well, I admit that it was not a success. On the other hand, by putting leaves, or a black plastic, and by moistening the ground, very early in the morning, you can pick up snails and slugs, in the following 1/2 hour, just at sunrise. Of course, I do it on flower boxes. Currently, there are many baby snails. How is the dog, now ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
