Bungarus bungaroides

Bungarus bungaroides, the north-eastern hill krait, is a venomous elapid snake. It has dorsal scales in 15 rows at midbody, with the mid-dorsal row slightly enlarged at the front and distinctly enlarged behind. The back is smooth and black with a series of very narrow white or pale yellowish lines or crossbars, which widen into distinct transverse bars on the belly (Wikipedia, general species account).

The largest male recorded was 1,400mm long with a 160mm tail. It is found in Myanmar, north-eastern India, Nepal and Vietnam, at elevations around 2,040m, and in Tibet. The sources opened give nothing on diet, habitat or breeding, so none is stated. Like all kraits it is highly venomous.
