| Citation | Description | Geographic Range [top]
Range Description: This species has been recorded from Myanmar and adjacent western Thailand (Smith 1943; Pauwels et al. 2001, 2004). The record from Thailand, from Mae Hong Son Province (Pauwels et al. 2001), is however doubtful as this tidal species has only definitively been recorded in tidal palm forests along the cost of Myanmar.

Habitat and Ecology [top]
Habitat and Ecology: This species is a brackish water dweller that inhabits tidal forests (G. Zug and O. Pauwels pers. comm. 2010, Pauwels et al. 2004).
Systems: Freshwater; Marine
Continuing decline in area, extent and/or quality of habitat: Yes
Use and Trade [top]
Use and Trade: There are no reports of this species being utilised.
Threats [top]
Major Threat(s): The habitat of this species is threatened by deforestation due to the encroachment of agriculture, illegal logging, and general over-exploitation of mangrove forest resources by a growing human population. People in this area rely heavily on mangrove resources and this may be reducing suitable habitat and therefore affecting the known populations.
Conservation Actions [top]
Conservation Actions: There are no known species-specific conservation measures in place, however it may occur in protected areas within its range. Research into the population of this species and its ability to withstand disturbance to its mangrove habitat should be undertaken, as this snake may be susceptible to significant population declines if pressures on its mangrove habitat increase in the future.
