Looks alot like our California Kingsnakes... especially the desert kings. Except for the heads/face... ours have white scattered about.

You should get yourself a kingsnake over there and freak some people out...

Dear Mr. Breuer,

Welcome to the forum. I like your enthusiasm! It's nice to see a skilled photographer like yourself showing an interest in snakes. Perhaps if you keep it up you might one day keep a pet snake or be asked for advice about these fascinating animals. ;-)

Best regards,

Warren

Dear Mr. Laurde,

thank you for your warm welcome - I sincerely hope to live up to the expectations. As to pet snakes, would you recommend a B. multicinctus for a beginner with small children in the house and a habit of not properly closing slide doors? It is certainly a pretty snake, visually the closest to those gorgeous California Kingsnakes which unfortunately I'm not able to purchase over here....

Thanks again,

HBT

I really enjoy your posts Hans. The krait is really cool - I never realized that the dorsal scales were so, well, strange! Almost look like they could be belly scutes on certain other snakes, as seen in the second pic.

Formerly RooOfBlue, now out of the closet :D
