Records. Table 2.

The False Water Cobra is a large thick-bodied snake that is easily recognized by its size (TL = 212.0 cm ± 18.0; n = 7), shape, and color patterns ( Fig. 8). Roadkilled snakes were bronze-colored with black dorsal saddles, which start as paired and fused black crossbands and irregular rings on the first half of the body and become progressively darker and entirely black bands at the end. This species had conspicuous black stripes along the sides of the head and neck. We collected 5 specimens

(ZUFMS-REP02723, REP02724, REP02729, REP02730 and REP02731).
