Lycodon capucinus
The snake is dark brown to black in color, has a white band around its neck, and has white speckles all over the length of its body. The specimen is about 18 cm long.
Usually in forest floors but since it's widely distributed, it may also be found anywhere where there's enough vegetation where it can hunt for its usual prey.
The snake was photographed on a tiled floor. It entered our house possibly to seek shelter from the noise of the firecrackers outside. The specimen was put in a glass bottle until all commotion outside has finished. It was then released on a vacant lot with overgrown vegetation.
