Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Black-striped Snake sighting in Calakmul Biosphere Reserve on a given day, based on 30 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 10th most-seen of the 46 reptiles we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 50%, and over a week to about 80%, if each day is a fresh chance.
October
In that month about 40% of wildlife watchers report a Black-striped Snake in Calakmul Biosphere Reserve on a given day, against under 5% in November to February, the lowest months. That is one of Calakmul Biosphere Reserve's wettest months, with about 120 mm of rain against 15 mm in February.
Between 7 and 10 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Black-striped Snake sightings with a recorded time, and about 6 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is seen both by day and at night.
Only Calakmul Biosphere Reserve, in our data
Calakmul Biosphere Reserve is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Black-striped Snake sightings: about 20% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Black-striped Snake is recorded against all the reptiles logged in Calakmul Biosphere Reserve (30 verified sightings from 2019 to 2026), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
