: "We saw this snake crossing the road and stopped to make sure it got across safely (me and my son,7); it was so beautiful! We watched it climb the tree and cross the branches to safety in the jungle. This was in Koh Lanta, Thailand, on December 25th- Christmas day! A few people stopped and joined us after seeing us taking videos. I posted in a Thai Facebook group to ask about the breed. Apparently, it is a red tail racer snake (Gonyosoma oxycephalum); they are non-venomous and usually eat eggs from bird's nests."
