Ahaetulla prasina (Boie, 1827) ( Fig. 6C View Fig ): An individual was found at night on the thick grass in secondary forest.
Boiga cyanea (Duméril, Bibron, and Duméril, 1854) ( Fig. 6D View Fig ): A road-killed specimen was found in the afternoon on Road 102. The surrounding habitat was evergreen forest.
Boiga guangxiensis Wen, 1998 ( Fig. 6E View Fig ): An individual was observed at night on a tree branch near a stream in evergreen forest.
Boiga multomaculata (Boie, 1827) ( Fig. 6F View Fig ): An individual was observed at night while moving on the grass near a stream at the forest edge.
Calamaria pavimentata Duméril, Bibron, and Duméril, 1854 ( Fig. 6G View Fig ): A road-killed individual was found in the morning on Road 102. The surrounding habitat was secondary forest.
Coelognathus radiatus (Boie, 1827) ( Fig. 6H View Fig ): An individual was observed in the afternoon while moving across Road 102.
Dendrelaphis pictus (Gmelin, 1789) ( Fig. 6I View Fig ): Two specimens were found in the afternoon near Road 102, an individual crawling on a tree branch and a road-killed individual on Highway 6. This is a new record for Xuan Nha NR.
Elaphe moellendorffi (Boettger, 1886) ( Fig. 6J View Fig ): An individual was observed in the afternoon near the entrance of a cave at the forest edge.
Elaphe taeniura (Cope, 1861) ( Fig. 6K View Fig ): An individual was observed in the morning near a large rock at the forest edge, and another individual was detected in an agricultural area. This is a new record for Xuan Nha NR.
Euprepiophis mandarinus (Cantor, 1842) ( Fig. 6L View Fig ): A road-killed individual was found in the morning on Highway 6. The surrounding habitat was evergreen forest.
Gonyosoma coeruleum Liu, Hou, Lwin, Wang, and Rao 2021 View in CoL ( Fig. 6M View Fig ): A road-killed specimen (adult male) was found in the morning on Highway 6. The surrounding habitat was evergreen forest. This is the first record of this species in Vietnam. Gonyosoma coeruleum View in CoL was recently described by Liu et al. (2021) from Yunnan Province, China. The new species closely resembles G. prasinum (Blyth) View in CoL , but it is differentiated from the latter species by having the precloacal plate divided, iris blue and inside of mouth greyish-white in life. Morphological characteristics of the specimen from Son La Province are as follows: Snout-vent length: 662 mm; tail length: 242 mm; head distinguished from neck; pupil rounded; rostral broader than high; internasals as wide as long; prefrontal shorter than length of frontal; frontal pentagonal; parietals longer than wide; nasal paired; loreal 1/1; supralabials 9/9, fourth to sixth entering orbit; infralabials 10/10, first to fifth bordering chin shields; preocular 1/1; postoculars 2/2; anterior temporals 2/2, posterior temporals 2/2; dorsal scale rows 19–19–15; ventrals 198; cloacal scale paired; subcaudals 100, paired. Coloration in preservative: dorsal surface green; belly greenish (determination after Liu et al. 2021).
Gonyosoma frenatum (Gray, 1853) View in CoL ( Fig. 6N View Fig ): A road-killed specimen was found in the afternoon on Highway 6. The surrounding habitat was evergreen forest.
Lycodon futsingensis (Pope, 1928) ( Fig. 6O View Fig ): One specimen was found at night on the ground while moving near a stream in evergreen forest.
Lycodon meridionalis (Bourret, 1935) ( Fig. 6P View Fig ): A road-killed specimen was found in the afternoon on Highway 6. The surrounding habitat was evergreen forest.
Oligodon fasciolatus (Günther, 1864) ( Fig. 6Q View Fig ): An individual was observed at night on the ground while moving across a forest trail, and a road-killed specimen was found on Highway 6. This is a new record for Xuan Nha NR.
Oreocryptophis porphyraceus (Cantor, 1839) ( Fig. 6R View Fig ): An individual was observed at night while moving on the roadside. The surrounding habitat was evergreen forest.
Ptyas korros (Schlegel, 1837) ( Fig. 7A View Fig ): Five individuals were found during the daytime on the ground or on tree branches near bamboo bushes, abandoned fields, and at the roadside near forest edge.
