Pseudorabdion albonuchalis is a species of snake in the family Colubridae. It is endemic to Borneo and occurs in Sabah and Sarawak (Malaysia), Kalimantan (Indonesia), and Brunei.[1][2] It is also known as the white-collared reed snake.[1]
Description[]
Pseudorabdion albonuchalis has a small, slender body and a pointed head.[1] It is oviparous.[2]
Habitat and conservation[]
Pseudorabdion albonuchalis occurs in lowland forest at elevations of 50–600 m (160–1,970 ft) above sea level. It is semi-fossorial and lives in leaf litter. It is potentially threatened by deforestation. However, it has a wide range and occurs in many protected areas, and is therefore not considered threatened overall.[1]
