There’s a snake in the house in Seminyak Bali

Our porch backs directly onto the garden, which, minus the mosquitoes, is cool. This afternoon Ika came upstairs to tell me there was a snake in the garden. When I got down there it had disappeared, but she said it was wrapped around the papaya tree.

She said it was about the thickness of her thumb and a medium green color. In the garden I couldn’t see it, but Ika spotted it again. I caught a quick glimpse, its pretty small, about a meter long and a lovely shiny smooth body. The snake perfectly matches its environment, and if it didn’t move would be very hard to see.

We have a lot of frogs in our garden and the other night Ika said she heard ‘the sound the frog makes when he’s getting eaten by the snake’. I am not familiar with that sound, but I’m sure it represents pain. Ika said the green snake had a thin yellow stripe. Does anyone know if that’s dangerous?
