Pareas berdmorei, also known as the Mengla snail-eating snake or Berdmore's slug-eating snake, is a non-venomous snake native to Myanmar, China, Cambodia, Vietnam, Laos, and Thailand.[1][2]
The dorsum of P. berdmorei is mostly yellow-brown to orange in color with variable dark markings. Thin stripes beginning at the upper postocular scales continue to the nape, often forming elongated dark markings. Its iris is uniform in color, which may vary from beige to bright red-orange. Its belly is white.[1]
