Ichthyophis beddomei

Ichthyophis beddomei, the yellow-striped caecilian, also called Beddome's caecilian or the Nilgherries caecilian, is widely distributed in the Western Ghats in southern India. The nominal species might be a composite of several cryptic species. Adults measure 210-270 mm in total length, including a tail of 4-5 mm (Wikipedia, general species account).

The body is dark violet-brown, becoming light brown beneath, and a yellow stripe runs along the side from the head to the tail tip, becoming slightly wider at the neck. The upper lip and lower jaw are also yellow. The eyes are distinct, the nostrils at the snout tip are visible from above, and the upper jaw slightly overhangs the lower (Wikipedia, general species account).
