(Figs. 10.8 and 23.3)
It was recorded in only two localities on Bahia and Minas Gerais States, close to the contact with the Cerrado region. It was found from 452 to 630 m elevation. This snake is endemic and widely distributed in the Cerrado region (Nogueira et al. 2011) and may be found in savanna enclaves inside Caatinga-Cerrado contact. It has fossorial habits, is nocturnal and diurnal, and feeds mostly on elongated vertebrates ( Marques et al. 2001).
