Can anybody identify this snake from Guangdong (Canton) in southern China?
My wife is alawys playfully nagging at me, "Is that the only thing you can do, identify snakes?" So just before she went on holiday, (as a joke) she placed a link in Chinese about a woman who found twelve eggs in her house, but only found eight of the hatchlings. I have looked at everything from keelbacks to the Chinese ratsnakes found in Guangdong without success.

That was what I was thinking, a Buff-striped keelback, but I couldn't find any that matched that closely. Then again, the picture is a bit blurry. Also, I found an article in English about the snakes. The snakes were found in Jiangsu province, not in Guangdong.
All the sites I researched only stated that they are found in Hainan, Hong Kong, Fujian and Jiangxi. Oh well. Upon finding more pics using the Hanzi you provided, I must agree that that's what it is. Also, the eggs were found in a potted plant, so could have been relocated.
Thanks for the Hanzi, that helped.
