About the White-collared Reed Snake

Pseudorabdion albonuchalis is a species of snake in the family Colubridae. It is endemic to Borneo and occurs in Sabah and Sarawak (Malaysia), Kalimantan (Indonesia), and Brunei. It is also known as the white-collared reed snake.

Pseudorabdion albonuchalis has a small, slender body and a pointed head. It is oviparous. Pseudorabdion albonuchalis occurs in lowland forest at elevations of 50–600 m (160–1,970 ft) above sea level. It is semi-fossorial and lives in leaf litter. It is potentially threatened by deforestation. However, it has a wide range and occurs in many protected areas, and is therefore not considered threatened overall. Wikipedia →

Where does the White-collared Reed Snake sighting chance come from?

GBIF citizen-science records

It is estimated from how often the White-collared Reed Snake is recorded against all the reptiles logged in Kinabalu Park (14 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.
