Oligodon arnensis
during rainy season, this cute little snake was strolling around our hostel near to the entrance steps.
'Cute' & 'snake' ........... not two words I personally would associate with each other : ) Nice pics though!
The head pattern is entirely different sir u can distinguish it easily from the following two links sir.

and also i didn't see loreal scale in this snake sir..which is a typical distinguishing character between common kukri and O.venusutus.
It can also be O.travancoricus.maxillary teeth count may confirm that it is a O.travancoricus or O.venusutus as far as from its location it should be O.venusutus sir.
Hi Gopal, i still think this is a common banded kukri. What makes you think this is black spotted kukri? Can i have a link of a picture of black spotted kukri from a reliable source? :)
It looks like O.venusutus(black spotted kukri)..does it has any numbers spines along its tail??
