Hi guys, im a newbie here.
Just registered a minute ago.. haha.
Im also new to all these reptiles
thingy.. Just moved over from
Singapore (reptiles-banned country)
to Malaysia (Johor Bahru)...
Im loving it here. I can observe,
touch, play around, and/or even
rent any reptiles for free from the
petshops near my house!!
But sadly i cant own any as
my house owner restrict me
from havin any reptiles at home.
Earlier today, in the early morning
of this brand new year, God dropped me
a baby snake that curled up on my
feet while i was waiting for cars to
clear off the road before crossing
over.. I was soooooo happy coz
ive been wanting to own a snake..
but yet i was also curious whether it
was a venomous one... hmmm.
I was a lil bit scared to pull it off
as it looks like it may bite, so i took
a twig and poke it gently & repeatedly
until it dropped off.. took out my
water bottle and shove the baby
snake inside...
Not sure whether it is poisonous
and i really wanna know what
snake is this.. I googled it but cant
seem to find the most suitable answer.
Its a black snake with multiple gold
stripes running parallel to its body..
It also have tiny white patches on the
front and back of each eyes.. Ive attached
a pic, do take a look :)
It could be a Northern Ribbonsnake,
Fork-marked Sand Snake, Namib
Sand Snake, Jalla's Sand Snake,
Montane Grass Snake, or even a
Rhombic Skaapsteker... can anyone
help me? :(
