Mountain Slug Snake

The mountain slug snake (Pareas macularius) is found across much of Southeast Asia, including Myanmar, Thailand, Laos, Vietnam and Malaysia, and in southern China. Records from Bangladesh and India are listed in some sources. (The Reptile Database; Wikipedia, general species account)

It is ochre brown to red-brown with half-banded, half-spotted bars formed by scales that are white in front and deep claret-brown behind, and usually has a white nuchal collar mottled with claret red. It has 15 smooth dorsal scale rows. Like its relatives it is a nocturnal, semi-arboreal, oviparous snail and slug specialist. (Wikipedia, general species account)
