Hebius modestus

The modest keelback, or Günther's keelback, is a natricine snake endemic to Asia. The type locality is the Khasi Hills, India, and in India the species is found in forests at altitudes of 600–1,500 m. Adults may attain about 60 cm, with a tail of 18 cm (Wikipedia, general species account).

The back is dark greyish-brown to olive-brown, scattered with black spots or blotches, with a series of ochre-yellow, orange-brown or reddish-brown stripes, often reduced to elongate blotches, running from the nape to the tail base.
