It's the start of the dry season here, Solomon Islands, and we're getting a few of the more reclusive animals coming out.
This one came through the nursery last week, it's about 5' long, only guessing, I wasn't game to get that close. It's very aggressive, fast, and no one here knows if it is venomous or not. It wove itself through the mesh as though it was a sewing thread, and came at me when I tried to get closer with the camera.
If anyone knows which variety it is?
This is the other sort we have, Solomon Ground Boa, this one didn't mind being handled.

The first snake (One with the fence) Looks like a brown tree snake to me..
http://blogs.nationalgeographic.com/blogs/news/chiefeditor/2008/08/snake-plague-on-guam-impacts-t.html
vipers will have a angular shaped head that is a bit offset from the body.
from what i have been able to google the Solomon Islands have Boa's, tree snakes, water snakes (coral snakes) and some vipers.
Stay away from anything that has a triangle shaped head (Except for boa's) Sea snakes have some of the deadliest poison in the world so stay away from them too.
Your a smart cookie .. if you don't know what it is. The best bet is stay the hell away from it. |

I'd say large Earthworm.
Good for the garden.
I disagree with Jackdaripper though Irish.
I think that you should pick up everything you come across and hold it against your neck. |

the aggression and looks suggest a brown tree snake. Not really venomous, but prolific, aggressive, annoying.

I think this article says they're there, but don't really stand out?

the species is reported to be uncommon in the Solomon Islands, which may be more attributed to its cryptic coloration in vegetation than actual absence |
Nasty snake. |

thanks Jack and Stephan, I'll go with the brown tree snake id, nasty bloody thing that it is.
Everyone here treats every snake as venomous, so they just indiscriminately kill any snake. The small earth snakes are the best to find though, about 3mm diameter, bright blue/red or a flesh colour grey, about 6" long. They live in the soil and chase ants.insects.mites etc, and everyone jumps back when they find them in the garden soil.
No one knows if they bite or not, they are extremely tiny, eyes like small pin pricks.
@ Corona, image sometimes opens, try again
@ Cowboy Buck, miss that blighted isle of rain crap weather and more rain? All I miss is the pub life, I'm happy with sunshine, 35*C weather and friendly people.
@ The Squirrel, go take a flying f*** at yourself you rabid flea infested disease carrying bit of tree vermin |

Easy now Irish - SOOI doesn't hate all snakes. It's a well know fact that he has a particular love of handling trouser snakes. |

^^ That's Irish's department - something I tried to train him out of.
Unfortunately he became more of a fan if anything. |

Irish took my advice.
He may not be around for a few days until he's crapped out. |

Did I perhaps experience a cross-cultural "failure to communicate" when I first read your post?

"the nursery" = a sweet bedroom where you keep one or more teeny-tiny human tots?
or "the nursery" = a place where trees, shrubs, and plants are nurtured?
In case it's the former, I'm ready to send you a machete and encourage you to vigorously protect your offspring
. . . but if the latter, then perhaps it's just part of the joy of communing with nature . . . |

I am working on a proper identification of the reptile as we speak. While I am working on it, my best advice to you is to run left!

@ Diana Prince *Nursery* as in this
http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s177/irishkiwi/Nursery1.jpg
@ Pastor Frank I couldn't leave you to handle that one on your own, you distract it and I'll grab the tail
@ The rabid attention seeking squirrel, go find another thread to post your *I'm terrific* self promoting waffle. We all know what you are, this constant attention seeking and dreams of grandeur just prove what a little child you really are |

I think I've got an ID on the snake.
His name is Bernie Edwards. And he lives just up a little ways from you, Irish.
OK, so it's late and I should be heading for bed. |
