Lycodon laoensis, commonly known as the Laotian wolf snake, is a species of non-venomous colubrid snake endemic to Asia.
It is found in India, Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, Cambodia, China (Yunnan), and West Malaysia.
Dorsally it is dark brown, with a whitish or yellowish crossband on the occiput, and similar body crossbands which bifurcate on the sides. Ventrally it is whitish. Adults are about .5 m (20 inches) in total length, which includes the tail of about 10 cm (4 inches).[1]
They are nocturnal, and generally ground dwelling. They are not very aggressive and generally reluctant to bite.[2]
Like other Wolf Snakes, they can be mistaken for the venomous Banded Kraits.
