This dead but fresh specimen was encountered and photographed by Gloria Seow along Old Upper Thomson Road, near the Upper Peirce Reservoir, on 26 August 2007 at about 9.30 am. It was initially misidentified as the Barred Kukri Snake (Oligodon signatus) but was later recognised as a "red form" of the Brown Kukri Snake (Oligodon purpurascens) by Kelvin Lim. Unlike the Striped Kukri Snake, this rare species tends to be restricted to forests (Lim & Lim, 1992). This nocturnal snake is non-venomous and has a terrestrial-burrowing habit (Lim & Lim, 1992). It can attain a length of about 90 cm (Lim & Lee, 1989). Clutches of 8-13 eggs are known (Cox et al., 1998). It occurs in southern Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Borneo and Indonesia east to Java (Cox et al., 1998).

I've just surfed a while to try and find this snake. A man I met in Bako has some wonderful photos of one he took in TIOMAN.
He couldn't find it in any book.
This snake was also a reddish/orange and the yellow was a rich golden colour which was shined.
I was surfing for this snake for a man I met in Bako at the weekend. He had photos he took in Tioman of this snake but couldn't find it in any info. Thought it was a new snake. This was also very reddish and the yellow areas he says were sparkling, this you could see in the pictures when zoomed in. a real Gem.
I will give him this link when he enmails me.

I will give him the link.
he's from Georgia USA but comes to malaysia often.
