RARE GLIMPSE OF A BANDED FILE SNAKE

Singapore is home to more than 50 species of snakes. Most of them live inland in our nature reserves, and some have adapted to living in urbanised areas due to the presence of prey animals such as rats and frogs.

There are also a few snakes species that live along or around our coastal areas, such as the native banded kraits and yellow-lipped sea krait. Another species that prefers this habitat is the banded file snake. Here, we get a glimpse of a baby banded file snake making his way into the water. Banded file snakes are nocturnal and are usually found in mangrove and coastal areas. Their diet mostly consists of small fish, and they are mostly spotted in the north western areas of Singapore.
