Lycodon sidiki is one of seven Sunda Shelf species of snakes in the family Colubridae. It is endemic to Aceh Province, Sumatra.[2]
Etymology
[edit | edit source]The specific name sidiki is due to honor of Indonesian herpetologist, Irvan Sidik, to his contributions for the herpetology.[2]
Description
[edit | edit source]The species can identified from other wolf snakes, by the absence of preocular scale and presence of keeled dorsal scales. Smaller snakes have bright orange-red venter and older snakes have creamy venter.[2]
