Any time of year
In every month with enough records, under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Cantor's Dwarf Reed Snake in Singapore on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Cantor's Dwarf Reed Snake is recorded against all the reptiles logged in Singapore (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.
