Description:Vertebrate fauna of Morankanda-Mukalana secondary forest patch in Sri Lanka: The Red-tailed Pipe Snake feeds on grubs, worms, eels, frogs and small snakes. Humid lowland areas, including forests, swamps, rice paddies, and other agricultural land with moist soft ground where it can dig. The snake is mostly nocturnal and is active at night. Sunbeam Snake has a long thin tail and a whitish-gray belly without banding. Yellow-bellied Water Snake has a broader head and uniform white-to-yellow on the belly with no bands. When the snake is molested, the head is buried beneath its coiled body and the tail is raised; the tail, which is brightly coloured and resembles a head, often startles a potential predator.
