The olive oriental slender snake is a colubrid snake found in Nepal and the Indian Himalaya. The upper body is a uniform greyish brown, while the throat, belly, underside of the tail and first row of dorsal scales are yellowish. The dorsal scales are very smooth and shiny, without apical pits, in 13 rows (Wikipedia, general species account).
Counts of belly scales given for it are 147 to 149 and tail scales 33 to 39, with 17 maxillary teeth in a continuous series. The sources opened give nothing on size, habitat, diet or breeding, so none is stated. The Reptile Database lists the western Himalaya of India, Nepal and Bhutan.
