      With Vern Lovic and Rupert G. Lewis we searched in Phanom Bencha for snakes at night.
      We found some different species. Vern found the Krait. These snakes are not aggressive during the day.
      At night you have to watch out already! We could handle the snake well with a snake hook and tong.       Posted 9 years ago, modified 9 years ago
