Drummond-Hay's Earth Snake

Drummond-Hay's earth snake is a burrowing uropeltid endemic to Sri Lanka. Its preferred habitat is forest at altitudes of 900 to 1,500 m, but it has also been found in agricultural habitats such as home gardens and tea plantations. It is ovoviviparous. It is named for Henry Maurice Drummond-Hay (1869–1932), a planter and naturalist in Ceylon (Wikipedia, general species account).
