Myrrophis dakkrongensis

Myrrophis dakkrongensis (Myrrophis dakkrongensis) 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).

Myrrophis mud snakes are highly aquatic homalopsids associated with fresh or brackish wetlands, depending on species. They have smooth scales and forage underwater for fish, frogs, crustaceans and other small aquatic prey, occasionally leaving the water. Members bear live young, but reproductive details remain sparse for recently described forms. These are genus-level notes rather than documented observations of this particular species in Vietnam, so exact habitat, diet, size and litter values are omitted (general Myrrophis account; Reptile Database).
