Need help identifying this snake

December 9th, 2012



I came across this little snake that is about 12-20 inches long and about half an inch wide. It's head is almost squared and boy it slides so fast. Google gave me this link which I think is close but I don't know.

What part of the world are you in? That helps narrow it down a bit.

From Google images: Black snake, white head I found: White Crowned Snake? Looks pretty similar to your specimen.

Not sure that this is a White Crowned Snake as suggested by @thebluegnu because the WCS is an Australian snake and I don't think you've shot this in Oz? Also, the markings are not strictly the same as the WCS, having less of a 'crown'. Could you tell us where you shot this pic. so that we can narrow it down a little?

PS Your Google link photo looks more like the one to me.

@jodimuli haha cool! I'll think about it ;)
@drewhuy @thebluegnu @girlie @stude73

Big thanks for the help, I took this shot yesterday and I am from the Philippines. The Google link really does look quite close but I am not really familiar with snakes. The specimen on the link says that it is a Philippine Wolf Snake but there could be other (poisonous) snakes right.

@godders - I\ll give it a go :D

Um... that is a snake and I'm tellin' ya, "RUN LIKE HELL!"

@ggg Yes, definitely a Philippine Wolf Snake going by Google Images. It's fortunately non-venomous. Quite a pretty snake, actually, and nothing to be worried about.

I got that kind of snake here and I can't identify it too. It's exactly the same.

It's really small and I don't know what to feed it.
