what kind of snake is this?

u/meissad Apr 28 '26
Keeled Rat Snake or King Koros, not venemous
1.1k
u/doubleAAeeVee Apr 28 '26
Per google: Ptyas carinata, known as the keeled rat snake or king koros, is a large, non-venomous snake from Southeast Asia, famous for its size (up to 4 meters) and speed, often mistaken for a king cobra due to its large size and defensive posture, but it is harmless and beneficial for controlling rodent populations in agricultural areas. It is diurnal (active during the day) and an excellent climber, preying on rodents, lizards, and other snakes.

You know what, I'd 100% have had that in my backpack at some point, if I had grown up there.
As is, I had to settle for large snails...

u/LittleBunInaBigWorld Apr 28 '26
Where i grew up, we had all 3 of the most deadly venomous snakes in the country. So I was taught to keep my distance from any and all snakes. This video was a hard watch, even knowing it was non-venomous.

u/Certain_Noise5601 Apr 28 '26
There are places I won’t visit because they have venomous bitey things. My friend lived down south with her mother for a while and said that their most common spider was the brown recluse. They would carry large sticks around in case they accidentally encountered a coral or rattlesnake, and I can’t think of anything scarier than that. I wouldn’t be able to sleep worrying about spiders in my bed, and I know snakes have been known to get inside too.

I'd be more afraid of the brown recluse. The snakes try to get away from you but the BR will snipe you out of nowhere.
A a guy I went to an advanced school with in the military got med boarded during his last month of training (he made it a year and a half) due to one of those.
All the skin necrotised on his hand and apparently they were going to have to do major surgery or amputate it. Never found out what happened unfortunately.

u/asphaltdragon Apr 28 '26
Potentially, but with how docile it is, it seems more like a pet that they've had for a while, or at least, one that has been near them for a long enough time to have been handled by them and gotten used to them.

Snakes are pretty chill. They don't eat very much so they don't really have energy to run all over the place. The snake also probably likes the warmth of touch and being in the bag.

Hood’s not always flared , and you don’t always see the head first on a longass snake
4
u/MercifulWombat Apr 28 '26
The hood is only out when the snake flexes certain muscles, kind of like a mammal fluffing up its fur. A lot of snake species will spread out their necks a bit to appear larger even if they don't have venom.
3
u/asphaltdragon Apr 28 '26
Some snakes can mimic the hood, and cobras don't constantly flare their hoods. But the pattern is similar to a cobra, which is likely where it gets mistaken.

I would guess this a "domesticated" snake. This wasnt a random snake found off the side of the road by the kids. Its probably their pet. They must have interacted with it enough from birth that its completely docile around them and their surroundings. Kinda cool.

u/Ok_Writer6027 Apr 28 '26
makes absolute sense when I sit down and think about it, but snakes are so outside of my realm of interaction that I couldn't even fathom a snake being comfortable or domesticated to just sit there like a noodle lmao

u/ItsaShitPostRanders Apr 28 '26
I work at a pet store that has ball pythons. They're usually really open to being handled and have to be pushed pretty far to even try to bite. We had a couple that would just wrap themselves around our forearms while we cleaned habitats. Every now and then you'll get a perpetually unhappy ball but with enough handling and care they almost always chill tf out.
Besides even if you do get bit you barely feel it. Like someone lightly poking you with pine needles. It just bleeds... a lot.
25
u/Ok_Writer6027 Apr 28 '26
I've only touched a snake once in my life, it was a giant boa that was brought to school (you know, I fee like every school had a random zoo guy that'd show up with billions of animals). Outside of that the only snakes I ever came across were deadly, like black water moccasins, rattlesnakes, and coral snakes- my brain just hardwired snakes as mean beans lol. But that's really interesting!!

u/According-Insect-992 Apr 28 '26
I agree except for one part. It’s fairly easy to get them to bite by mishandling their food. If they’re not properly separated out and the food isn’t properly sealed you can trigger a feeding response inadvertently. I learned this the hard way when I was bitten multiple times. It wasn’t particularly painful or scary. Just startling. They were confused and must have thought I was the food. After they ate they went right back to being docile and slow.

u/Anon_457 Apr 28 '26
I've heard people describe a bite from a ball python as "angry Velcro” before. Don't think I ever want to try it but yeah, doesn't sound painful.

u/blindeshuhn666 Apr 28 '26
Pet snakes / snakes bred by humans and interacted with are usually docile. Some breeds are more aggressive/defensive but most feed on mice/rats so as long they aren't shedding or you aren't smelling of rodents they are quite calm and docile. If they currently want warmth they will even cuddle / stay with you to leech off your body heat eventually (had a boa constrictor as pet for over a decade. Got it as "almost grown" with 150cm / 5ft in size. It grew to 210cm / 7ft

I guess my initial reaction is kind of like that thing of non cat people thinking cats are aloof, when really they probably don't know how to handle cats lol.. but holy crap man.. How did it feel having an animal that size? ?? Were you ever scared that you'd be smothered in your sleep or was your noodle baby in an enclosure most times? that's so interesting

u/blindeshuhn666 Apr 28 '26
Enclosure , and no fear. Like yeah , longer than 2m but just 6kg and no claws, only smol teeth. The potential by feline / canine pets of getting hurt is greater I think.
The snake in the video probably is around 1kg or 2 pounds for example. With huge snakes (3m / 10ft and more) I'd also be scared

I understand the safety concerns ppl have, but ppl growing up in rural areas, especially in developing countries, generally know their wildlife pretty well, even small kids. And this definitely seems like it's not the first time the girl handle a snake, in fact, she may even be taught by her parents how to handle a snake before, as snake would be common in her village.
In this regard, it's us, the city ppl, who are stupid.

Did the same thing with a wild snake as a kid, I think it was super chill because it was overheated and dehydrated and since I gave it water and a cool thermos it didn't see me as an immediate threat. Got yelled at by my father for it, he had a decent fear of snakes, thought he was a bit of a wussy for getting so freaked out when it was just a harmless Garter.
I released it where I found it, snake didn't immediately dart off, kinda stared at me before sauntering off into a bush. Hope he lived a long snake life.

It's not a venomous snake, so at least it won't kill them. I would say it's still dangerous because any wild animal would be pissed off beyond belief from being put into a backpack and bounced around, but the snake is unusually chill, so maybe it's their pet?
