Müller's Earth Snake

Müller's earth snake is a burrowing uropeltid endemic to Sri Lanka. It is yellowish above and below, with a black spot on each scale, except that the scales in the rows next to the middle row along the back lack spots. Adults may reach a total length of 39 cm. Its scalation is very similar to Schneider's shieldtail, but the body is more slender and it has more ventral scales, 236 to 246 (Wikipedia, general species account).

Nationally Data Deficient (Sri Lanka National Red List 2012).
