My name is Vern Lovic, I’m a snake enthusiast living in Southern Thailand. I’m interested in snakes, other reptiles, and many other wildlife species found in Thailand and across Asia. I enjoy taking photos and videos, but I don’t keep or sell snakes.
I just don’t believe in it. Never did. That doesn’t mean I don’t have friends that keep snakes – I do. I respect others’ beliefs about the subject, we’re all different!
I added some information here from a number of resources and a lot of my own personal experience.
Note – Some information found on the pages of ThailandSnakes.com will be outdated, and some will be incorrect. Every effort was made to ensure factual information, but as it happens the information contained on these pages is not without error. I am in good company though because I have not found any snake resource to be infallible. If you see something wrong – feel free to let me know so I can change it.
If you need a snake identified post your image or description to our public Facebook group here: Thailand Snakes.
EMAIL – If you want to talk to me about a snake project, herping field trip, eco-photography trip, using images, technical papers, or a visit to Thailand – and also for any EMERGENCY – you can write me at the email below.
I don’t answer snake Identification requests by email.
Cheers!

I am from Romania and i want to work by venomous snakes. Do you cant help me ?
We don’t have any jobs or activities you could do. We had some volunteer options which are now filled. Maybe in 2017 we will offer that again.
Hi
I live in Chiang mai and it is a drought situation here, and many snakes are around, could they be looking for water. Would it help to leave water somewhere for them to keep them off the property.

Not sure if it would help at all… if you were able to spray a near constant stream – yes, would help. If you fill a bucket… not so sure. Cheers!
Hi Vern, just found your site. I discovered a small light brown coloured snake about 30cm long in my garden in Koh Samui this morning but I can’t find a picture of it on any of the sites. How can I get a pic to you so you can identify it? cheers Kapoor

Hello Vern,
I came accross this snake in about 1990 on the road between Chiang Rae and Mae Sae:

If I remember rightly, it was about 1.5 meters long and completely green.
Do you know what it might be?
Thanks in advance,
Billy.
Looks like one of the pit vipers, but not 100% on that.
Vern, do you have PayPal acct. so I can donate to your friend?
just wrote you email Tom – THANKS MAN!
Who can handle a snake in Chiang Mai?
My daughter saw a 70cm long green snake in my house. We can’t find it.
What should I do?
Thanks,
Guy
Either search for it, or pay some of the ambulance personnel to come in your house and search for it. Could be a viper, that fits the description. If you remember the snake, get our free ebook or buy one of our other books and identify it. Cheers!
