Striped Keelback (Xenochrophis vittatus) Sungei Buloh, 23rd April 2014
This dying Striped Keelback was found on the road at the entrance to Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve by Mohamed Bari. It’s likely that it was mortally wounded after getting run over by a passing motor vehicle.
It has been found that the genus Xenochrophis is not monophyletic, as the Striped Keelback is more closely related to other keelbacks of the genus Rhabdophis than it is to other Xenochrophis keelback species.
