Can you identify this snake hatchling?


http://h1.ripway.com/zilin23/snake.JPG

(the picture is quite big, do zoom in)

this baby snake was caught in my school courtyard today (i'm located in singapore). it is suspected to be a reticulated python, but it is unbelievably hard to find pictures of reticulated pythons this small/young, thus making it hard for us to really confirm if it is a one. i'm hoping someone can help identify it.

thanks!

(the picture was taken with my phone's camera from outside of the tank, so sorry for any compromise of the quality!)

I would say that was a reticulated python hatchling :D

Have you not tried google for pics of other hatchling retics? I'm sure breeders have plenty, but I've seen hatchlings, and they look like that!

Hi Zi Lin !

Soon as I saw the photograph, I had my suspicions...

I've just trawled through all my reference books - and, taken from the fact that you're in Singapore - the closest match I found is something called a fish snake (Latin name of Natrix Piscator)

Try a web search or look this name up in any reference books you can get hold of.

I MAY be wrong - and if I am I apologise - but given your local, and the photograph, it's the best I could do.

I hope this helps - Good luck anyway.

It is CLEARLY an Asian rat snake of some sort- it strongly resembles the Taiwan Beauty snake, or is closely related to it. I could not locate a photo which matches it exactly.
It is non-venomous.
It is DEFINITELY not a python!

Looks like a common death adder

It's a North Vietnamese butt tunneler. DO NOT LET IT GET NEAR YOUR BUTT HOLE!!
