Thailand Snakes: Red Tailed Pipe Snake - Awesome Colors

Pretends it's rear-end is a cobra head. Flattens tail and pokes up the red tip as if it's a cobra. Apparently this frightens some predators that know to stay away from Thailand cobras.

Beautiful snake - black on top with alternative half-bands of black and white on the belly. Very cool to see up close. This is a juvenile snake, when it gets a a little older the white bands turn red. So it will be a black and red snake. I might keep this one a while until I can get video and photos of the color after it changes.

This snake eats other smaller snakes like the Brahminy blind snake - see my videos on this channel of them. It eats fly larvae and worms. I put some meal worms in the soil - so hopefully he's eating that. There's a cricket in the tank, and unfortunately a little centipede.

This snake is non-venomous and hasn't tried to bite at all in 3 handlings. The head is very small and it probably couldn't get a good grip on a human in too many places even if it wanted to.

where did You find this snake??

[thaipulsedotcom]

@hotelhotel111 These are in the dirt. If you walk around with a flashlight at night - around your house or near a creek in a forest - you might see these. Very common. The white on the bottom turns red - very cool looking!
