Kopstein's Bronzeback

Dendrelaphis kopsteini

The Kopstein's bronzeback is found in lowland to mid-level rainforest but it is not common. The Kopstein's bronzeback is characterised by an orange brown nape and head. A black stripe extends from the snout through the eye and ends near the the neck. The lower jaw and throat region is yellow, fading to a greyish white at the ventrals. The rest of the body is highly keeled and brownish with intermittent greenish blue dashes. The scales along the lateral and dorsal region also reveal a network of blue scales, though it is very intense. In Southeast Asia, they occur in Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand and Indonesia (Sumatra).
