Enhydris sieboldii (Schlegel, 1837)[1] |
Siebold's Water Snake (Enhydris sieboldii) is a species of snake found in north-central India, Bangladesh, and western Malaysia.
This snake has the upper parts covered in large blotches similar to those of a python but they are distinctive in having their nostrils on the top of the snout to aid their aquatic lifestyle. They also lack labial pits.[2]
