Guide Books for Indentification of Singapore Snakes

It is good to know the difference between a Oriental Whipsnake and a Wagler Pit-viper; a Malayan Brown Snake and a Equatorial Spitting Cobra; a Pink-headed Reed Snake and a Blue Malayan Coral Snake; a Striped Kukri Snake and a Banded Malayan Coral Snake; a Gold-ringed Cat Snake and a Banded Krait; ...

These three references should help you learn more about snakes in Singapore, apart from differentiating the harmless snakes from the venomous ones:
