Hi
Definately a Chinese cobra there.The Chinese cobra has either the monocle or binocle pattern on the back of the hood whereas the King has only a number of larger stripes.
It seems u have the snake in a box or something and unless u are well familiar with snake handling i would advise against gettin too close .Both the species of Cobra in HK a potently venomous and have caused many fatalities.They are aggresive and best left well alone.A king cobra is even more so and is fast and intelligent.Be very careful.


Peace

Thanks for yr advice Jimmi.
The snake was in the house & needed to get it out somehow. Manouevered it into the box & put it outside to get a few photos (see below)

Normal thing is to call the police, and they call the snake-catcher from Hong Kong........... but last time, they cornered the snake & speared it........ I wasn't best pleased.
So this time I thought I'd do it myself for the sake of the snake.

That was yesterday....... trouble was, today was back again, so had to chase it off again. Was probably about 3' long, and if you look in the first pic, can just see the remnants of a sloughing. I guess I did get a little close (about 18") with a 105mm lens, but I'll bear yr advice in mind. :oops:

Nearly stumbled over this as I was emerging from a bar in Prince Edward early this morning. Not sure what species it is, but it's a great piece of design

Based on the pattern and number of bar in the head ,the white cross bands on the body,the two snake are common rat snake but not king cobra . Anyway I find that common cobra are quite common in Lamma .I have seen them on hilltop,seashore , garden and my store room .But they were all not longer than four feet .Maybe fully mature cobra is rare and more sensitive to human .
The photo is common cobra taken in So Kwu Wan chasing a toad to open ground and exposing itself to great danger .

Rat Snake [Pytas mucosus]
Needed to take 9 shots to get the snake as was so close - was at least 8' long
Have manually "stitched" pieces together to conform with body width as the snake was on the move & have not really been able to "stitch" the background so well.
All the images are full frame

It came down through some banana tree foliage next to me outside my hide & sat for about 5 minutes tasting the air and staring in my direction through the mosquito netting before moving slowly away from me & down to water.
Was really neat.......... called Neil on my mobile with this dirty great big snake sitting next to me............ he sounded a little concerned as he'd been sitting in the exact same spot the day before :D Don't think he'll be going back :shock:
When I first saw it thought it was a King Cobra, but checked up when I got home.
Nevertheless is huge for a Rat Snake.

No photo I'm afraid.......+, but I was out collecting rocks today, as Lamma residents have a tendency to do........., turned over a prospective rock .., and underneath was a very slim jet black snake, only about 4-5" long.
Anybody know what species it might be?

The warm weather we've been having recently seems to have brought the snakes out of hibernation a little early.
Rat Snake... probably around 7-8' long....

Thanks Nancy.
Was in the area around my pond. Photo was taken with a 500m lens so a safe 25' away.
Saw several snakes around during the warm days last week... possible awoken by a false sense of spring.... nothing the last couple of days
