I picked up a couple of field guides the last time I was in Singapore. Unfortunately, I do not have them with me at my current station. Attached is a list of the venomous snakes of Singapore. For what it is worth, when I inquired there, I was told that it was illegal to keep snakes in Singapore. I am sure that there is some sort of scientific permitting system because I know people who have conducted venomous snake research there.
Hope this helps,

A helpful book is "Snakes of Thailand and SE Asia" by Cox, Dijk, Nabhitabhata and Thirakhaupt. Also, go talk to Francis over at the Zoo. Buka Tima is a good place to herp as is the nature reserve. You'll mostly find retics, spitting cobras, flying snakes, Boiga cynodon, and in the mangroves at low tide you'l find heaps of Cerberus rynchops. Occasionaly you'll find purple shore pitvipers. There are quite a few other species stil found on the island but rampant building of HDBs has destroyed most of the habitat. King cobras are stil there but very rare. If pou do the short trip to Malaysia, you'll find a lot more herps.
I sympathise with you uf you are livng there. I spent two years living in that oppressive hell lah.
Cheers
Bryan
