บทคัดย่อ :
The banded kukri snake (Oligodon fasciolatus) is a primarily nocturnal, terrestrial species that reaches a maximum length of 920 mm in males and 863 mm in females. It is typically grey in colour but may vary from red to brown. Encountered throughout mainland south-east Asia, this species is a habitat generalist being found in agricultural landscapes and tropical forests up to 900 m asl (Cox et al., 2012). Oligodon species possess enlarged posterior maxillary teeth that evolved to slice through a specialised diet of frogs and reptile eggs. This dentition results in bites that are characterised by deep, clean, bloody wounds.
