Cylindrophis jodiae

Cylindrophis jodiae (Cylindrophis jodiae) is a snake recorded for Vietnam in the project inventory. Its supporting occurrence note is “Expert range list”. The accepted scientific name is retained because regional snake taxonomy and species boundaries can change, while similar-looking species may require scale counts, anatomy or genetic evidence for reliable separation. This profile therefore distinguishes the recorded identity and occurrence from broader biological context instead of inventing unsupported locality, size, diet or breeding details (project species data; Reptile Database taxonomy).

Cylindrophis pipe snakes are stout, cylindrical burrowers with small heads, short tails and polished scales. They spend much of their time in moist soil, litter or soft wetland substrates, feeding on elongate prey such as worms, eels or small reptiles depending on species. When threatened, many conceal the head and display the underside of the tail. These are genus-level notes rather than Vietnamese observations, so exact size, habitat, diet and reproductive values are omitted (general Cylindrophis account; Reptile Database).
