Hello my swimcoach just sent me this pictures for ID but im not sure what snake this is. She apperently drove accedently over it and now its injured. I will see what I can do once I get there. But at that time someone probably would have killed it. Apperently it "made it's neck like a cobra". So its spreads a hood.

Looks like a young Snouted Cobra.

Yeah be careful when you get there! Its a juvenile Snouted cobra as Westley said.

Thanks. There is no-one there now near the snake so the chance that I will find it is even lower. Thanks I will be super careful.

Sorry, I didn't know where to put it. So I went for the middle. Maybe an I'd section will be an good idea, or maybe I just missed it.

You can post reptiles that require IDs in the "Indigenous Observations" section under the correct province.

Update! When I came there the snake went into the field. And I could not find it. But he was apparently still feisty before disappearing. Hopefully he will life! Ps. I never intended to handle the snake myself. I had a plan to call someone if I found it.
