The head pattern is entirely different sir u can distinguish it easily from the following two links sir.
http://species.wikimedia.org/wiki/Oligodon_arnensis
http://reptile-database.reptarium.cz/species?genus=Oligodon&species=venustus
and also i didn't see loreal scale in this snake sir..which is a typical distinguishing character between common kukri and O.venusutus.
It can also be O.travancoricus.maxillary teeth count may confirm that it is a O.travancoricus or O.venusutus as far as from its location it should be O.venusutus sir.
Hi Gopal, i still think this is a common banded kukri. What makes you think this is black spotted kukri? Can i have a link of a picture of black spotted kukri from a reliable source? :)
