This subject was found during a spotlighting adventure. Initially, the snake was suspected to be an introduced.
Flower Pot Blind Snake R. braminus due to its small size and dark colouration, however a ranger on the island reviewed the images and video and he remarked that he was sure it was R exocoeti remarking it was still larger than the introduced R.braminus and a paler coloration overall. .
I look forward to further comments and discussion on this individual.
