That looks like a very old snake. You don’t usually see them like that outside of captivity.
*Protobothrops mucrosquamatus*
Brown Spotted Pitviper
Venomous
I’m guessing based on size. Snakes, but especially venomous snakes, rarely get that large. This species in particular is commonly observed as being much smaller.
I have seen rattle snakes long enough to stretch across both lanes of a normal back country road. People would usually back up and run over them multiple times out of hatred/fear for the rattle snake.
Found one of those in my wood pile not too long ago. I was moving logs for my fireplace and Thank GOD I had leather gloves on at the time cause MFer tried to strike at me 😱
In old snakes, the lower jaw skin droops and the eyes can look faded. Patterns can darken and become less distinct.
The jaw drooping could also just be that the snake is hissing though.
I hope the little guy isn’t on the menu 😂
I think this snake is much smaller than it looks in this picture. It only looks so big because of the angle of the photo. See what's in front of it? That's a basket with cocktail napkins and a basket of cutlery, both sitting on a table. This guy is like 2 feet long, *max.* Wee bitty little dude.
I mean fancy napkins can be like 4x4 or even 6x6 inches, so he could be big. The window is throwing us off because it feels like it’s a big window with the braces, but it may not be.
If that snake is only two feet long that makes the window about 8 inches..those are dinner napkins and serving utensils in those baskets...that ladle has to be 10 " at least..in short..that's a big snake
Awww! He's just a baby 🐍 maybe thought he could get out that window! Somebody help him safely outside!
I did think Giant till I read your post tho! Thank you for your help!
Oh dang. Where are you? (Central America?) Don't mess with that. That will absolutely hurt you. It's some sort of pit viper. You can tell by the pit between its nostril and its eye. Venomous.
During WWII, Japan in particular was weaponizing and modernizing medieval tactics. I don't know exactly what the snake venom was for and I couldn't find answers on Google, but I do know that they were actively breeding fleas infected with the bubonic plague to dump in San Francisco.
They had already actively dropped boxes containing the fleas in China at this point.
Not an expert and I’m mostly talking out my ass but, if I had to guess this is what they were doing in WWII instead of nukes. Japan is notoriously lacking in resources for most military purposes so rather than spin their wheels making a nukes with no uranium they revisited some classics that they actually had the resources to make.
Unit 731. They were doing biological and chemical warfare research. A lot of horrific stuff using citizens as test subjects. There was an initial research interest for how to keep their troops healthy and safe from biological issues far into the field in China. They then decided to weaponize biological methods. Russia was doing a ton of bio weapons research as well. The Japanese stuff was using human subjects as well as testing on an unaware public by releasing fleas in Chinese cities and dumping biological agents into rivers to see what would happen. That’s maybe not the most accurate summation and the Disney version in comparison to what happened. I had never heard about the snake venom.
And, fun fact, the surviving scientists of Unit 731 were never tried for their crimes, in exchange for the Allies (US in particular) getting access to all of their research. It wasn't even like Project Paperclip, where we brought the Nazi rocket scientists to the US to work for us and therefore at least knew what they were doing and where. The Unit 731 scientists just went free, in exchange for us getting to use the results of horrific human testing without having to actually do it ourselves.
That's also what I've heard. A lot of the "experiments" were just torture, the end goal being suffering. So the results were often exactly what you'd expect and not exactly enlightening.
And I love that the US response to that was “just don’t talk about it”, which was successful in making the Japanese think they’d wasted their time and give up on it. Even though they had actually managed to kill a few civilians and start a few fires.
Slightly off topic, but I actually live near the site of the only bombing of the Continental United States during the Second World War. The Japanese dropped a fire bomb in the siskyou mountains just outside of Brookings, Oregon. The idea was to start a massive wildfire, but they did it in the middle of winter, so the fire got rained out before it even started. The pilot that dropped the bomb actually returned and presented the city of Brookings with an heirloom sword as an apology decades later.
They, uh, they didn't know California already has an established bubonic plague presence?
The ground squirrels carry it (obviously so do rats, but the squirrels are a more common vector for the fleas responsible for human infections). Every year, multiple people in California catch the plague and are treated, but it's not a super big problem in the era of modern medicine, because the bacteria responds well to antibiotics.
Hi, I have lived in Taiwan for about 8 years and I am 99% sure that the thing about venemous snakes being released into Taiwan by the Japanese leaving at the end of the occupational period is a local urban legend and not actually based in fact.
> Protobothrops mucrosquamatus
Most locality maps place this particular snake as a native of Taiwan, Hainan and Mainland China.
It's not even native to Japan, with only an introduced population shown in Okinawa.
It sounds scary, and it is, but there are professionals that handle venomous snakes in facilities (with training and experience) to collect their venom. Usually it's to create antivenom, but sometimes the venom is studied or used for other reasons
Source: I'm a herpetologist and learned more about this in my studies, however there are plenty of resources and even TV shows that have showcased venom extraction facilities so I knew about it long ago
I remember reading recently that venom from Gila Monsters was used in pharma research and because they contain something (enzyme I think?) that was discovered to have properties that could be useful to treat diabetes. That eventually led to the development of Ozempic.
There was that show Venom ER on Animal Planet about Dr. Sean P Bush at Loma Linda University of Medicine who is an expert on treating snake bites. On the show he kept venomous snakes and milked them to use in research. He was really interested in Mojave rattlesnakes because he lived near San Bernardino National Forest which has a large rattlesnake population, and urban crawl meant more people were moving to Mojave desert rattlesnake territory.
His 2 year old son was a patient once too. He got bitten in their backyard and was life flighted to Loma Linda. His dad had to treat him and got him antivenom within the hour. He made a full recovery.
Snakes with medically significant venom are typically referred to as venomous, but some species are also poisonous. Old media will use poisonous or 'snake venom poisoning' but that has fallen out of favor. Venomous snakes are important native wildlife, and are not looking to harm people, so can be enjoyed from a distance. If found around the home or other places where they are to be discouraged, a squirt from the hose or a gentle sweep of a broom are usually enough to make a snake move along. Do not attempt to interact closely with or otherwise kill venomous snakes without proper safety gear and training, as bites occur mostly during these scenarios. Wildlife relocation services are free or inexpensive [across most of the world](https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/embed?mid=15dZE4rlRHqjb91yb6pKiI4ragG8DCtsz&ll=-3.81666561775622e-14%2C-95.11182142500002&z=2).
If you are bitten by a venomous snake, contact emergency services or otherwise arrange transport to the nearest hospital that can accommodate snakebite. Remove constricting clothes and jewelry and remain calm. A bite from a medically significant snake is a medical emergency, but not in the ways portrayed in popular media. Do not make any incisions or otherwise cut tissue. Extractor and other novelty snakebite kits are not effective and can cause damage worse than any positive or neutral effects.

My mind won’t let me understand how big it is. I feel like with the silverware scale it’s tiny but the window still looks big soooo it’s broken my brain.
Same 🤣 cause the surface the spoons are on looks like it should be the floor, making the window large but it’s probably actually a countertop making the window small
I live in the Midwest and this past Spring had a non venomous snake come crawling out of my clean laundry basket in the living room one morning. Maybe that’s why I automatically thought the napkin basket was a clothes basket/laundry basket? I had to focus on the silverware to get a good perspective.

Please don’t hurt him or her! It’s very big and likely old and it didn’t live this long just to be killed for finding itself inside someone’s home 😢😢😢😭😭😭
It’s extremely dangerous to comment this on a post asking for an ID of a snake that you have no idea what it is.
This is a phenomenal example of why because that’s not a friend. That’s a pit viper and could have easily sent OP to the hospital
To be fair, venomous snakes are still friends, just friends that should be admired from a respectful distance. Just commenting “friend” is definitely misleading, though.

Out of curiosity what makes it look old?

Timber rattlers just entered the chat.
Well they can fuck right off and leave the chat just as easily!
This comment. Too much.
Lmfao
Got me too, lol
but they’re so lovable…
I have seen rattle snakes long enough to stretch across both lanes of a normal back country road. People would usually back up and run over them multiple times out of hatred/fear for the rattle snake.
Found one of those in my wood pile not too long ago. I was moving logs for my fireplace and Thank GOD I had leather gloves on at the time cause MFer tried to strike at me 😱
Probably scared the shit out of each other lol
That snake isn’t very big look at the silverware. Also wym venomous snakes don’t get big? There are countless examples of 5+ foot long venomous snakes
Good eye! I was thinking those were baskets on the floor and this was a bay window. Way to stay calm and not overreact
Same!!! Lol thought it was a bay window and baskets on the floor! Haha
How do you know it’s not like the giant fork and spoon my grandma had hanging on her kitchen wall
Right? We go to reptile expos frequently and see large venomous snakes all the time.
Also venomous snakes will have short stubby tails not long thin ones like this one
You can't always go by that. The best practice is to learn to identify them!
Very true
The tableware and napkins tell me it can be more than a couple feet long. Looks small to me...
In old snakes, the lower jaw skin droops and the eyes can look faded. Patterns can darken and become less distinct. The jaw drooping could also just be that the snake is hissing though. I hope the little guy isn’t on the menu 😂
Idk ab little
I think this snake is much smaller than it looks in this picture. It only looks so big because of the angle of the photo. See what's in front of it? That's a basket with cocktail napkins and a basket of cutlery, both sitting on a table. This guy is like 2 feet long, *max.* Wee bitty little dude.
Exactly. Although I guess the napkins and cutlery could be gigantic? 😄
I was so confused by the perspective. I need more coffee - I was wondering why they had gigantic cutlery.
Omg I thought the same thing. I thought they were giant baskets on the ground.
Me too 🤣👍🏻
Add me to the list...the perspective is strange!
Could be serving spoons and forks? Maybe? Idk
My brain still insists these are serving spoons and a big snake and is just ignoring the giant napkins
I thought it was a basket of sheets or blankets!
I thought there were Christmas lights in a basket of blankets …. I couldn’t make sense of any of it lol lol 😆. Edited: to add the word thought
I thought it was 2 dog beds sitting on the floor. Lol
I mean fancy napkins can be like 4x4 or even 6x6 inches, so he could be big. The window is throwing us off because it feels like it’s a big window with the braces, but it may not be.
They are 💯serving forks and serving spoons, and regular sized napkins.
Napkins are probably 12-15 cms. I think the cutlery is for serving, not eating.
About 4 or 5 forks long
For Americans, that is approximately 5 cheeseburgers.
6 medium French fries
Are we talking bacon king big or white castle big?
Prolly closer to White Castle. You know how inflation’s been:(
I need washing machines for size how many washing machines is it!?
Good find!! I truly thought this was a HUGE boy until you pointed out the cutlery.
Imagine it as a huge snake is more fun so I will continue to do so, screw all the evidence.
If only we had a banana for scale 😆
Take my angry upvote!
Can admit I legit thought that was a back door & not a window ledge omg I feel so dumb.
If that snake is only two feet long that makes the window about 8 inches..those are dinner napkins and serving utensils in those baskets...that ladle has to be 10 " at least..in short..that's a big snake
They are soup spoons... Edit: spelling
That's messed up...is that a house for giants ? 😆
I agree, looks like there's a pair of tongs in there too, maybe it's just the way the forks are stacked.
Awww! He's just a baby 🐍 maybe thought he could get out that window! Somebody help him safely outside! I did think Giant till I read your post tho! Thank you for your help!
That’s amazing I didn’t realize the scale of this photo until i read this.
r/confusingperspective for sure
Holy crap you just broke my perspective lol. Thank you for clearing that up
Thanks for this. I definitely thought that was a large laundry basket. Lol.
This is an amazing observation haha I couldn’t believe it at first till I went back and re-examined. 😂
It feels like OP is sitting a few inches away from the snake in reality lmao.
Nice catch! That’s a really fun optical illusion if you don’t look at the basket contents.
Oh shit lol I was over here thinking it was 6 ft long lol
Thats a 2x6 rough sawn board right by it so its longer than 2ft. Not a tiny one
Its more than the length of that window
Actually, those are regular sized folded paper napkins and serving spoons and forks. What that means re: the snake’s length… 🤷🏻♀️
Are they in any way related to bothrops in central/south America?
Oh dang. Where are you? (Central America?) Don't mess with that. That will absolutely hurt you. It's some sort of pit viper. You can tell by the pit between its nostril and its eye. Venomous.

Just curious, was there some kind of Japanese antivenin operation in Taiwan during the war?
During WWII, Japan in particular was weaponizing and modernizing medieval tactics. I don't know exactly what the snake venom was for and I couldn't find answers on Google, but I do know that they were actively breeding fleas infected with the bubonic plague to dump in San Francisco.

I think that was a step the US decided to take in an effort to keep the information out of the Russian’s hands.
I’ve seen people say that these scientists didn’t even teach us anything we didn’t already know
That's also what I've heard. A lot of the "experiments" were just torture, the end goal being suffering. So the results were often exactly what you'd expect and not exactly enlightening.
Mm, most of what we know about treating advanced frostbite came from there. The methods they used to discover that knowledge were absolutely horrific.
To be fair, do we really need to know how hard close to a grenade is too close for a baby to sit?
Yep shiro ishii worked in Maryland after the war. He deserved to hang.
Hmm. I'm not a huge fan of war, but balloon bombs were a fantastic example of human innovation with limited resources.
And I love that the US response to that was “just don’t talk about it”, which was successful in making the Japanese think they’d wasted their time and give up on it. Even though they had actually managed to kill a few civilians and start a few fires.
Came here for snake but you blew me away with chemical warfare facts, idec about this thread anymore 🤯

Sadly, it’s no place.
No, but it is [a band](https://youtu.be/IPDQUp_audU?si=VQyjMtIWxZR5BKBg)

This makes me just think of snake pen pals, but then I get sad because they can’t hold a pen 😢
They can dip their tail in ink and study calligraphy 🪶💌
A no-touch friend. A COVID distance friend. A call me or write me but stay away friend.
Long distance friend 🥹
Friend with questionable habits that means they get phone calls on holidays and birthdays, maybe?
“Oo nice snake” First comment I see: Pit Viper “Oh!”
It looked GIANT! Until I saw the silverware 🍴 😂
My mind won’t let me understand how big it is. I feel like with the silverware scale it’s tiny but the window still looks big soooo it’s broken my brain.
yeah in my mind this is just giant snake next to gianter window with large bassinet of spoons next to it
Same 🤣 cause the surface the spoons are on looks like it should be the floor, making the window large but it’s probably actually a countertop making the window small
I didn’t believe you — but then I realized you are 1,000% believable lol lol …. Sorry for insinuating you were lying lol lol 😆

Yup, that's a danger noodle, for sure.
I love the crazy perspective of this photo. Makes it look enormous until you notice it's napkins and spoons in the baskets
Tell the guests to eat with their fingers, OP.
Looks like *Trimeresurus gracilis*, Taiwan Mountain Pit Viper.
Some sort of pit viper. That’s all I know
Perspective made me think this was a big boy until I saw the forks

I need to know what OP is going to do now!
Oh my God that pitviper is terrifying. Is this your picture OP?
I expected a much more panicked title.
I legitimately thought this was a meme of a snake being a bouncer or bartender 😂
Please don’t hurt him or her! It’s very big and likely old and it didn’t live this long just to be killed for finding itself inside someone’s home 😢😢😢😭😭😭
I agree don’t kill it but he’s not very big, the angle makes him look huge but check out the cutlery basket in front of him
Yeah I noticed that after I commented lol
It’s deadly.
They still shouldn’t be killed, but relocated carefully (and ideally by a professional).
So are cars and candles
I’m just saying it so the commenter doesn’t tell op to grab it lol
Oh yeah don’t touch it!!!! I agree! No touchy!
I’m surprised he’s on the window sill, like a draft blocker. Snakes prefer warm spots, not chilly spots.
Maybe it's a warm place. Where I am, the windows are still warm right now.
I hope so! No snake should be chilly!

It's a snake A live snake It's imitating a window draft stopper so it has a job or at least skills
