Sibynophis bistrigatus, commonly known as Günther's many-toothed snake, is a nonvenomous species of colubrid snake found in Myanmar (formerly called Burma) and India (Nicobar Islands),[2] but snakes collected in Myanmar and the Nicobar Islands might actually not refer to the same species. This rare snake is known from tropical dry forests.[1]
