Threats [top]
Major Threat(s): The threats to this species are unknown. As this species has only been recorded from the high mountains bordering Vietnam and Laos, which are difficult to access, it may not be at risk from habitat disturbance, although local people often persecute snakes on sight (Q.T. Nguyen pers. comm. August 2011).
Conservation Actions [top]
Conservation Actions: No species-specific conservation measures are in place, and the only known specimen was found outside a protected area. Surveys are needed to locate more records of this recently-described snake, to obtain data on its distribution, population status and natural history, and its exposure and sensitivity to threats.
