Vellore bridle snake
The Vellore bridle snake (Dryocalamus nympha) is a species of snake found in southern India and Sri Lanka. Bridle snakes are so named because of the resemblance of their slim bodies to the reins or 'bridle' used to control horses.
Characteristics: A small snake with a glossy black or dark brown colouration. Its colouration may be accompanied by a series of irregular white or grey stripes. Its ventral area is creamy yellow. This snake has considerably large eyes with vertical pupils which are adaptations for its nocturnal lifestyle. It has a rounded snout and an oval shaped flat head.
