Geographic Range [top]
Range Description: This species occurs in northeastern India (Sikkim, Darjeeling District, Naga Hills in Assam), Myanmar (Karin Hills), and then very disjunctly in central Lao PDR and eastern Cambodia (Smith 1943, Stuart et al. 2006, Stuart and Heatwole 2008). Its extent of occurrence in India and Myanmar is around 67,000 km2, based on the combined area of its known distribution centres; as it is known from only two specimens in Indochina, its full extent of occurrence cannot be established.

Habitat and Ecology [top]
Habitat and Ecology: The sole Cambodian specimen was found during the day (12:00 h) climbing on bamboo two metres above the ground at the edge of a road through deciduous forest with grassy understory, at 700 meters elevation (Stuart et al. 2006). The sole Lao specimen was found dead on a road in an area with disturbed semi-evergreen forest at about 900 m elevation (Stuart and Heatwole 2008).
Systems: Terrestrial
Use and Trade [top]
Use and Trade: This species is not utilized.
Threats [top]
Major Threat(s): This species may be threatened by forest loss resulting from agricultural development, although its occurrence in disturbed forest suggests that it may be tolerant of some human disturbance. No major threats can be confirmed.
Conservation Actions [top]
Conservation Actions: Taxonomic study is needed to determine if the western and eastern populations of this species are conspecific. Additional survey work is also recommended to understand the distribution and ecology of this species, and to establish whether major threats to this snake exist.
