Conservation Actions [top]
Conservation Actions: No conservation measures are in place for this species, although it occurs close to a protected area. More surveys are needed to rediscover this snake and to establish whether it occurs in Lao PDR, and to clarify its distribution, population status, natural history and exposure to threats.
