Geographic Range [top]
Range Description: This snake is present in central coastal Myanmar and was historically recorded from southern Myanmar, where it has been reported from Tenassarim in Tanintharyi Division. However, recent surveys have not recovered the species from the southern portion of the country (G. Wogan pers. comm. 2011). It is also found in the Andaman Islands (Das 2010). It occurs at elevations between sea level and 300 m. The correct assignment of several records from Myanmar north of the known distribution (to either B. ochracea or B. walli) is uncertain (G. Wogan pers. comm. 2011).
