It was shown on another forum but there are very few photographs that exist of this species.
Occurs across a wide range of South East Asia and this particular specimen was found in Central Java.
Frog and fish feeder- similar habits and habitat to garter snakes.
Will be getting some in the UK to work with soon. |

If i am right, there isn't a lot of info on the net about it. I can't remember where I first saw it, but it was probably some book of snake species.
I have since treid to find info regarding this snake in Captivity and found nothing.
It will be interesting to find out more.

| No Pete- and yes- nothing about it prety much anywhere. Fascinating though- ever seen keeled scales like that on a snake? More like the scalation on lizards like Shinosaurus or Dracena. |
