My friend Ch'ien Lee sent me these two photos with the caption:
"Got a snake for you to run by your herp forums. Even though it looks like a standard wolf snake, this Lycodon doesn't seem to match anything in the books. It has both preocular and loreal scales so it can't be either L. effraenis or L. subcinctus. And the smooth scales mean that it can't be Lepturophis. I'd be keen to hear what the folks on the forum say."
We asked Indraneil Das, but he didn't know either ... which doesn't happen often.
Thanks very much in advance for your learned opinions!
Hans
