The barred slug-eating snake is a non-venomous snake native to Indonesia and Malaysia. It is mostly tan to light brown with weak dark brown vertebral spots and 61 to 78 transverse dark brown bands, and stripes from the upper postocular scales meet at the nape to form a large black ring-shaped blotch (Wikipedia, general species account).
