Calamaria brongersmai

Basic stats

Habitat

Forest from sea level to 600m; terrestrial

Range

Sulawesi, Indonesia

Brongersma's reed snake is a calamariine colubrid endemic to Sulawesi. The species was named for Dutch herpetologist Leo Brongersma and is treated as a distinct Calamaria in modern catalogues. The accessible species account did not provide a safe colour description, body length or diagnostic scale combination, so those features are not inferred from the many outwardly similar reed snakes found in the region (Wikipedia general account; Reptile Database listing).

Its documented habitat is forest from sea level to about 600 m. It is terrestrial and reproduces by laying eggs. Those facts are the extent of the direct natural-history information in the opened account: prey, daily activity, use of leaf litter or soil, clutch size and incubation remain unreported there. This concise treatment therefore separates verified species facts from broader habits often attributed to Calamaria as a genus (Wikipedia general account).
