Pseudoxenodon stejnegeri, commonly known as Stejneger's bamboo snake or (Stejneger's) mountain keelback, is a species of snake in the family Colubridae. [1] [2] [3] The species was first described from Taiwan [2] where it is widespread. [3] It is also widespread in eastern China and has also been recorded in Yunnan and Hunan. [1] [2] There are two subspecies: [2]
- Pseudoxenodon stejnegeri stejnegeri Barbour, 1908 – China, Taiwan
- Pseudoxenodon stejnegeri striaticaudatus Pope, 1928 – China
Pseudoxenodon stejnegeri stejnegeri grows to 90 cm (35.4 in) in total length. [3] It is oviparous. [1] [2] [3]
This species lives in dense forest on mountains at elevations of 400–2,100 m (1,300–6,900 ft) above sea level, [1] typically near water where it forages on amphibians. [1] [3] in Taiwan, its altitudinal range is 1,000–2,500 m (3,300–8,200 ft). [3]
