Thai:Color differences of the same specie of Kukri snake?+Malayan Pit Viper juvenile

[KraitedCobra]

Hi all. I found these 2 (Banded?) Kukri snakes in the same area the same night (07/02-2013).
Can anyone please confirm my thoughts regarding that these are the same specie of Kukri snakes, but with only color difference?
(The reason i brought these snakes home is for showing the thais and the burmese working at the farm i was herping at that these snakes is a none dangerous specie, these people said they were Malayan Pit Vipers (thai name: 'ngu ghap pa') and very dangerous, so to stop the arguements i let it strike me 3 times to confirm their wrong thoughts.
This is a very common specie in the whole Prachuap Khiri khan, actually the one i encounter most and alot of thais keep killing them because they think they're vipers and/or dangerous, as they do with most harmless species.



After releasing these snakes close to a pond, i went herping from twilight continuing into the night as always, but this time without seeing a single snake, ...until i was almost back to our apartment, only a few houndred meters from a local famous private school for kids, i thought i saw a small dead snake on the road.
When i stopped my bike, went back to see, i found a juvenile Malayan Pit Viper, i assume that it's no more than a week old or so (adding 3 pic's of it):





After bringing it to the farm to show them how a Malayan Pit Viper really looks like, i gathered some leaves before letting the viper out of the bag to circle up in the way this specie usually stay/hide and told them all to take a good look, bec this juvenile looks exactly like a full grown, and told them that once they have seen/studied a Malayan Pit Viper, they will/cannot ever be mistaken again.



After 'educating the thais and the burmeses a little' i released the Viper further out were there's alot of mountains and pineapple farms all around.


Last night about 20+km away in a different area, i found this Kukri snake climbing about 1m above the ground, also red in color, but a little brighter with more clearer brown-red visible bands than the red one above:



I just touched this snake to make it change position to get a good picture shot, then left it where it hang and kept on walking.
Can anyone please confirm that all these 3 Kukri snakes are the same specie?

This night i also found 2 Common Bronzeback Snakes laying on twigs not too far above the ground and 2 Long nosed Whip snakes.
This night was not too good, neither too bad as i saw 5 snakes all together. I only catch new species i haven't catched before, keep them the night over for picture shooting the day after.
This night i didn't find anything new.

Thanks and cheers from Hua Hin everyone
