What kind of snake is it? Is it poisonous?
That one wasn't too bad. It's called a "Taiwan Beauty snake".
But we get a nice variety of interesting ones like: cobras, umbrellas, bamboos (almost invisible and deadly), pythons, boas (thanks to the Japanese occupation...imported for torture and released in the wild when they had to flee) and my favorite of all... the 100-pacer (story goes that if you get bit, you got a 100 steps before you drop dead)
Had an encounter in a dark tunnel with a boa once, while riding on a motorcycle. That thing was as big as a tree! And when it saw my lights, it went straight at me! Never made a 180 inside a narrow tunnel that fast ... ever!
