Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Striped Coral Snake sighting in Kinabalu Park on a given day, based on 16 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 34th most-seen of the 69 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.
July and August
In those months about 40% of wildlife watchers report a Striped Coral Snake in Kinabalu Park on a given day, against under 5% in March–April, June and October–January, the lowest months.
Between 2 and 5 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Striped Coral Snake sightings with a recorded time, and about 7 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Kinabalu Park, in our data
Kinabalu Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Striped Coral 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 Striped Coral Snake is recorded against all the reptiles logged in Kinabalu Park (16 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.
