The ocellated kukri snake (Oligodon ocellatus) is a species of snake of the family Colubridae.
The snake is found in Cambodia, Vietnam, Laos, and Thailand.
Like several other species of kukri snakes (genus Oligodon), the species feeds on toads. Observations indicate that it likely first eviscerates such prey and devours its organs, before swallowing the toad whole. [2]
