Brown House Snake eating a mouse. - A harmless snake found throughout South Africa.
They are called House Snakes because they are often found near and sometimes in human dwellings. They are not there to attack humans, they are attracted there to catch their food! Mice and rats are attracted to human dwellings for warmth and food - OUR FOOD. These harmless snakes catch and eat rats and mice.
Brown House Snakes can't harm us but do help us by catching and eating rodents. Rodents can harm us.
Moral of this true story - Please protect harmless Brown House Snakes.
One Brown House Snake can eat this many rodents in a year!

I know it sounds crazy, but these snakes are harmless. A small bird defending its nest will do more harm than this snake could.

In Indonesia, this snake is found in many areas of western Java, especially in rubber plantations, although all agricultural areas are also often found this snake. They love to live under a rubber tree. If biting people's legs, eating can be fatal. Or at least a bitten foot can be cut to save the victim's life. The poison causes progressive paralysis, and if the dose is not immediately given, the victim will collapse in less than an hour. is this true sir @mambaman?

The snake you describing sounds like a member of the cobra family, highly venomous. The Brown House Snake is nothing like that. It has no venom, it is completely harmless.

yes you are right,
This snake is not poisonous, but if disturbed this snake will bite. The bite of a lizard snake is quite painful because of its fangs. It only causes sore and slightly bleeding when bitten by this snake.
In Indonesia we can find lizard snakes in Kalimantan, Java, Bali, Sumatra. The species of this species is lizard, Snake is often active at night and often spread on the ground.
