The keeled slug-eating snake (Pareas carinatus) is a species of snake in the family Pareidae. It is relatively widespread in Southeast Asia, from southern China ( Yunnan) to Burma and Indochina to the Malay Archipelago ( Borneo, Java, Lombok, Sumatra, Bali). [1] [2] Two subspecies are recognized: P. c. carinatus and P. c. unicolor, the latter being confined to Cambodia. [2]

Keeled slug-eating snakes live in or near forests. They are nocturnal and mostly arboreal, and as the common name suggests, they feed exclusively on snails and slugs. They are oviparous. [1]

While the species is negatively affected by forest destruction, IUCN considers these effects to be localized and not threatening the species. [1]
