Dendrelaphis cyanochloris, commonly known as Wall's bronzeback, is a species of snake found in Southeast Asia.
Distribution[]
The species occurs in India (Assam, Arunachal Pradesh (Namdapha - Changlang district); Andaman Islands), Bangladesh, Myanmar, southern Thailand, and western Malaysia (Pulau Pinang, Pahang, Pulau Tioman). It is predominantly arboreal and inhabits primary and mature secondary lowland rainforest, at altitudes of up to 1,000 m.[1]
Conservation[]
Common and widespread, Wall's bronzeback is currently classified as Least Concern by the IUCN, although it is likely impacted by localized habitat loss and degradation from agricultural expansion and logging.[1]
