Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Burmese Bronzeback sighting in Jakarta on a given day, based on 23 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 27th most-seen of the 47 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.
February
In that month about 40% of wildlife watchers report a Burmese Bronzeback in Jakarta on a given day, against under 5% in January, April and August–September, the lowest months. That is one of Jakarta's wettest months, with about 370 mm of rain against 55 mm in August.
Only Jakarta, in our data
Jakarta is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Burmese Bronzeback sightings: about 20% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same genus: Dendrelaphis
The closest relatives of the Burmese Bronzeback that you can see in Jakarta (genus Dendrelaphis, Bronzebacks) are Common Bronze-back (about 40%), Elegant Bronzeback (about 20%) and Underwood's Bronzeback Snake (about 20%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Burmese Bronzeback is recorded against all the reptiles logged in Jakarta (23 verified sightings), 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.
