Oligodon deuvei is a species of snake in the family Colubridae. [3] The species is endemic to Southeast Asia.
The specific name, deuvei, is in honor of Jean Deuve (1918–2008) who was a French military officer and amateur naturalist. [4]
O. deuvei is found in Cambodia, southern Vietnam, and Laos; it is expected to occur in northeastern Thailand. [1]
The preferred natural habitat of O. deuvei is forest, but it is also found in gardens. [1]
O. deuvei differs from other known species of its group (the O. taeniatus group) by the combination of 12–15 maxillary teeth, 17 dorsal scale rows at midbody, approximately seven supralabials, the absence of dorsal and tail blotches, and the presence of a single vertebral black stripe, which is usually orange or red. O. deuvei is most similar to O. barroni , but differs from the latter by having more maxillary teeth and its absence of dorsal and tail marks. [2]
O. deuvei is terrestrial, semiaquatic, crepuscular and diurnal. [1]
The mode of reproduction of O. deuvei is unknown. [1] [3]
Cát Tiên National Park is a national park located in the south of Vietnam, in the provinces of Đồng Nai, Bình Phước and Lâm Đồng. It is approximately 150 km north of Ho Chi Minh City. It has an area of about 720 km2 and protects one of the largest areas of lowland tropical forests left in Vietnam. Since 2011, Cát Tiên National Park has been a part of Đồng Nai Biosphere Reserve.
Oligodon is genus of colubrid snakes that was first described by Austrian zoologist Leopold Fitzinger in 1826. This genus is widespread throughout central and tropical Asia. The snakes of this genus are commonly known as kukri snakes.
Oligodon cinereus, the ashy kukri snake or Günther's kukri snake, is a species of snake in the family Colubridae.
Oligodon nagao, the Nagao kukri snake, is a species of snakes in the family Colubridae. Specimens have been collected from Lang Son and Cao Bang in northern Vietnam, Guangxi Autonomous Region in southern People's Republic of China, and from Khammouane Province in central Laos PDR.
Calotes bachae or Cochinchina Lizard is a species of lizards in the family Agamidae. It is known from southern Vietnam and eastern Cambodia. Its range may extend into southern Laos.
Oligodon moricei, commonly known as Morice's kukri snake, is a species of snake in the family Colubridae. The species is endemic to southern Vietnam.
Oligodon pseudotaeniatus, commonly known as the false striped kukri snake, is a species of colubrid snake. It is endemic to Thailand and known from the Nakhon Ratchasima Province, Saraburi Province, and Bangkok. The type series was collected by Malcolm Arthur Smith. The specific name pseudotaeniatus refers to its similarity to Oligodon taeniatus, with whom it was confused prior to its species description in 2008.
Oligodon ancorus, commonly known as the northern short-headed snake, is a species of colubrid snake found on the islands of Luzon and Mindoro in the Philippines, and the island of Sumatra in Indonesia. However, whether the populations from Sumatra, described as Oligodon rhombifer, belong to this species has been contested.
Oligodon annamensis, commonly known as the Annam kukri snake or Leviton’s kukri snake, is a species of colubrid snake originally known from two specimens from Vietnam, where it was thought to be endemic. It has also since been found in Cambodia and Thailand.

The Chinese kukri snake is a species of snake of the family Colubridae.
Oligodon huahin, the Hua Hin kukri snake, is a species of kukri snakes in the genus Oligodon. The species was first discovered and described in late 2016, and the article was published July 13, 2017. It is only known from its type locality but its range is likely to be more extensive. O. huahin is thought to be very secretive, similar to other species of the genus Oligodon. This theory is supported by the type specimen, which all were males, suggesting that it was found during the mating season where males are out and actively search for females to reproduce. This may also explain why this species had not yet been discovered
