With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Red-eyed Vine Snake sighting in Jakarta on a given day, based on 8 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 42nd most-seen of the 47 reptiles we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 50%, if each day is a fresh chance.
June
In that month about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Red-eyed Vine Snake in Jakarta on a given day, against under 5% in August, October and December–May, the lowest months. That is one of Jakarta's driest months, with about 90 mm of rain against 370 mm in February.
Between 9 pm and midnight
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Red-eyed Vine Snake sightings with a recorded time, and about 7 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is seen both by day and at night.
Only Jakarta, in our data
Jakarta is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Red-eyed Vine Snake sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same genus: Ahaetulla
The closest relatives of the Red-eyed Vine Snake that you can see in Jakarta (genus Ahaetulla, Asian Longnose Whipsnakes) are Oriental Whipsnake (about 60%) and Malayan Green Whipsnake (about 20%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Red-eyed Vine Snake is recorded against all the reptiles logged in Jakarta (8 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.
