Little is known about how south-east Asian snakes respond to the conversion of natural areas to human-
dominated land uses. We radio-tracked a Bungarus candidus (Malayan krait) in an agricultural zone of the Sakaerat
Biosphere Reserve in Thailand for 68 days. The snake exhibited nocturnal activity and remained within a 3.23 ha 100%
minimum convex polygon (MCP) home range during this period. Using Duncan s Index of Preference, we found the snake
preferred less disturbed habitats such as agricultural field margins (0.90), and to a lesser extent, a Eucalyptus plantation
(0.75).
