Help identifying snake please

[bcr226]

It looks like a banded red snake (Dinodon rufozonatum).

But it's from the wrong part of the world. Either way, chasing it and smacking it with a stick isn't the best way to handle the situation. There's no need to be afraid of it, just respect it and if it starts hanging around, either get a herper to come move it or start looking for the food source that's keeping it there.
