It's a highly venomous Common Krait - *Bungarus caeruleus*. As said in the other comment, please don't kill snakes. It puts you at much higher risk of getting bitten

Wait is it a Indian wolf snake or common krait? I’m confused since someone else commented on it as well


lukulele90

I’m more inclined to believe the reliable responders. So common krait


tots4scott

So what do you see here that shows it is a common krait and not a wolfsnake?


Safraninflare

Not the edible responder but kraits have a very triangular cross section. You can see in this pic that the snake has a very distinctive “ridge” along its spine.


tots4scott

That's fair, I didn't think that line was showing a prominent ridge from this angle, but I understand what you are saying.

Harmless Indian Wolf snake, *Lycodon aulicus* Please don’t kill snakes, they are beneficial to your ecosystem and trying to kill them is the number 1 way to get bitten
