Tentacled Snake - Erpeton tentaculatum

This species is considered common within its range. Although harvested, it makes up a small proportion of the harvest and this is unlikely to have a significant impact on the global population. This species is therefore listed as Least Concern. This species inhabits stagnant or slow moving bodies of water with vegetation. This species feeds on fish. Life history information is from captive bred animals. During the dry season it will, if necessary, bury under the mud until the rainy season returns.
