Help with Snake ID - Nakhon Ratchasima, Thailand

Post by SNG4800B »

We found this juvenile sitting in the middle of the road and would appreciate any assistance with an ID. The snake was found approximately 10 days ago at night, it didn't move when we approached on the motorbike (or on foot), and was fairly aggressive as we moved it to safety off the side of the road (it attempted to strike several times while moving it). Our best guess is a puff faced water snake, however we're not sure.

Thanks in advance for any help!
