Abstract

In recent herpetological surveys, we recorded six snakes comprising two species of Culubridae (Amphiesma stolatum, Hebius leucomystax), two species of Homalopsidae (Enhydris enhydris, E. subtaeniata), one species of Pareatidae (Pareas hamptoni), and one species of Xenopeltida (Xenopeltis unicolor) for the first time in Binh Dinh province, central-southern Vietnam. In addition, an updated list of 26 snake species from Binh Dinh province contains species of conservation concern including 6 species listed in the Governmental Decree No. 32/2006/ND-CP (2006), 7 species listed in the Vietnam Red Data Book (2007), and 2 species listed in the IUCN Red List (2019).
