Egg Thieves


The two-lined shovel snout, Prosymna bivittata, is a harmless fossorial snake that feeds on the eggs of other snakes and particularly gecko eggs.

They are small snakes easily identified by the shovel-like snout. Often seen moving around on the surface in the late afternoon following showers and pour-downs.

When molested, they may flatten the body and hiss as they coil and uncoil.
