I'm a bit confused, Lou. I've heard you say on this video as well as another, "Venomous as well as poisonous"....Can you clarify? I always scold people when they call venomous snakes "poisonous",,,,I know I'm being petty when a novice says poisonous, I try to tell them that snakes are "venomous" and things like mushrooms are "poisonous",,,,I've never heard snakes being referred to as "Venomous as well as poisonous",,,,,So I'm curious and eager to be corrected if I am wrong. I LOVE your videos, I have started a file on the snakes of Japan and Singapore and Hong Kong,,,every time you find a new snake I go google it and read up on it, it's the first time in my whole life where I've taken an interest in snakes outside the USA in any big way. And it's all because of your approach and down to Earth style of video blogging. THANK YOU!!!!!!!

Willswalkingwest first, thanks for taking the time to comment. As far as that snake, the Tiger Keelback, it is indeed venomous and poisonous! It’s venomous like a lot of venomous snakes, this one being rear fanged. It has to chew to really inject its venom. It’s also poisonous. It secrets a poison on the back on its neck. When threatened, it doesn’t bite, but it hunches over making the top of the neck the easiest to bite. The animal attacking it will bite the neck, and ingest the poison secreted. I hope that makes sense. I might make a video explaining it. The Red Necked Keelback is the same, venomous and poisonous. I see those in Hong Kong. They both manufacturer the poison from the frogs they eat. I’m not 100% sure, but I believe if you fed them only mice, they would lose the ability to secrete the poison. I’m with you about people calling snakes poisonous, but in these two cases it’s actually true. Thanks for watching my videos. I make them for people like you. I just got back from a Tokyo, Singapore, Bali trip. So many snakes. Also an awesome waterspout! So more videos on the way when I get some free time to edit them. Lou

Elaphe climacophora they can be tough to find. In April and May, you usually find them under cover, like this video. In the summer months, they are out moving mid morning. In the fall, they are back under cover objects. No snakes in Tokyo December - March. Rain also helps. Go a day or two after rain. I hope this helps.

It makes me so angry when people kill snakes just for simply existing. They are no threat to us if you leave them alone. I've been a venomous snake keeper for several years and I can attest for every snake, even my most cantankerous black mambas, that they simply want to be left alone and if scared, they just want to get away. Biting is always the last resort. The only time any of my snakes ever strike at me outside of handling is from feeding response. When it gets close to feeding day, they get excited as soon as the door starts sliding open lol. The cobras are pretty notorious for coming out at you, but the scariest one is my fer-de-lance. That thing can propel it's whole body straight out of the enclosure. It's crazy. Best believe I always stand to the side when I slide that enclosure door open lol.

It also secrets a poison on top of it's neck. So it's poisonous too. There's a Red Necked Keelback that is the same. I saw a couple just a few days ago in Hong Kong. So there you go, a venomous and poisonous snake. More videos coming soon.
