Habitat and Ecology [top]
Habitat and Ecology: The species occurs in forest, usually in wet areas such as near streams. It is also found in plantations and villages adjacent to forest (David and Vogel 1996). The species is nocturnal and mostly arboreal, feeding exclusively on snails and slugs. It is oviparous, laying up to eight eggs (David and Vogel 1996).
Systems: Terrestrial
Use and Trade [top]
Use and Trade: There are no reports of this species being utilized.
Threats [top]
Major Threat(s): The species is likely to be negatively affected by forest destruction resulting from infrastructure development and agricultural expansion. It is however very widespread throughout Southeast Asia, and so impacts are likely to be localized.
Conservation Actions [top]
Conservation Actions: No conservation measures are required. It probably occurs in a number of protected areas within its range and has been observed in Kep National Park, Cambodia (P. Bowles, unpubl. data), although evidence of illegal logging is widespread in this reserve. The generic status of this species warrants reexamination.
