Philippine Shrub Snake

yes .. i think they r burrower so they eat small insect but some of my friend said they eat earthworm,,and snails so much better some of snail going to the trees or shrub plants..posible the shrub snake adapt they morphology to semi arboreal.. to hunt their food at night.i have adult shrub snake and im looking for other literature.

aj? youre biology from the philippines? what can you say?

Yes, @Prince2, that was what I was told, juveniles have white bands.

I am not sure, probably like most snakes, they feeds on frogs and other reptiles like lizards and small mammals like rats.

did shrub snake at hatchling time their morphological characteristic ? have white banded? and after they juvy to an adult they banded .. color faded?

what diet or what they eat?

Yes, @Scott. I did asked the local Herpetologist about the white bands and this is his reply to me :

Juveniles of O. leporinum have white bands and loses them as they mature.

Hello Albert. I of course also ran across this species while researching but didn't think that "banded" applied. Thanks for the info.

Hi Scott, I was recently asked to share my pictures to a Philippines Herpetology Group and they clarified that this Snake should be a Oxyrabdium leporinum and not O.modestum.
FYI

You're welcome, Albert

Thanks, @Scott for the ID :)

Couldn't match the color but it appears quite variable.

That would make sense since I couldn't find a species within that genus that fits with your snake. Pretty sure the photo in the link is of the same species as yours though

This doesn't look like Dendrelaphis like those guys (not Ashley) are saying in Ashley's link. :-)

Here's your snake, will try to figure out species when I get home later http://www.skepticfriends.org/forum/topi...
