IMG_5876-(W) Malayan Mountain Keelback (Hebius inas)

            Another Lifer, one of the uncommon keelback.
Family : NATRICIDAE
Location: Malay Peninsula
Habitat: Highlands of Malaysia (disturbed forest)

Toxicity: Believe to be venomous but till today no envenomation case in Malaysia. 

We were extremely lucky, as we are walking, suddenly this snake decide to cross the trail/road. The species is also called the 'Gunung Inas Keelback' after the mountain in Perak, Peninsular Malaysia from which it was first described in 1901 (in Malay, Gunung = Mountain). An uncommon keelback that reside in the mountain range of Malay Peninsula.

Habitat: The ecology of this species remains unstudied, but it appears to venture further from water than many other species of keelback (which is true in our case). Keelback snakes in general prefer habitats that are wet and near to water source. This specimen was found in a disturbed agriculture/forestry area

Distribution: Southern Thailand and Malay Peninsula.
