South, although other populations have been reported by local people in scattered localities in North and centre (Salter 1993b; see also report localities below). Rivers, lakes, and other wetlands, but the habitat attributes preferred by the species remain unknown in Lao PDR. Status Information: Historically the species was probably abundant, for example, Bassenne (1912) wrote “...on the sandy river-banks (near Pakxan), crocodiles stretched their long, scaly bodies...One of the attractions of traveling up the Mekong was to shoot at these large saurians”. Likewise, Wharton (1966), on observations of late dry season hunting activities along the Lao- Cambodian border in the 1950s and 1960s, wrote “every per- P x x x x 1,2 x 1 x x x x x x x 1 x x 1 x x x x 1 x x 1,2 x 1,2 x A x x x 3 x 2 x x 2 x 2 x 2 Amphibians and Reptiles Reference Salter 1993b Stuart 1998c Salter 1993b Salter 1993b Salter 1993b Salter 1993b 1 ; JWKP verbally 2 ; Stuart 1998d 3 Salter 1993b 1 ; Stuart 1998b 2 Stuart 1998a Salter 1993b Salter 1993b Salter 1993b Salter 1993b TC pers. comm. 1999 Salter 1993b; Timmins and Bleisch 1995 Salter 1993b 1 ; Evans et al. 1996a 2 Salter 1993b Salter 1993b 1 ; Stuart 1998e 2 Salter 1993b Salter 1993b Salter 1993b Salter 1993b 1 ; Duckworth et al. 1993 2 Salter 1993b Salter 1993b 1 ; Showler et al. 1998a 2 Salter 1993b 1 ; Davidson et al. 1997 2 RJTiz verbally 1999 manent water hole...is repeatedly visited...crocodiles (C. siamensis) are captured in drying up stream beds within heavy gallery forest such as along the Tonle Repou [Cambodian name of Nam Lepou]”. Few recent field records exist, and the species is presumed to have drastically declined in Lao PDR. The distribution of surviving populations remains unclear. South: field records: a 1.5 m crocodile basking on a grassy bank in February 1998 at Nong Khe wetlands, Sanamsai District, Attapu Province and a fresh set of faeces in the same location (S. Khounthikoumane, CPAWM, verbally 1999). Previously in the Nong Khe wetlands in January 1997, night vocalisations of crocodiles were heard and 61
Wildlife of Lao PDR: 1999 Status Report Plate 10: Checker-backed Pit Viper Trimeresurus mucrosquamatus from evergreen forest in Nakai-Nam Theun NBCA, December 1998. Currently known in Lao PDR from only three specimens. B. L. Stuart / WCS. Adult Flowerpot Snake Ramphotyphlops braminus found under a log at the edge of a rice paddy near evergreen forest in Dong Khanthung PNBCA, July 1998. This diminutive species is widespread in Lao PDR but is rarely seen because of its fossorial habits. B. L. Stuart / WCS. 62 Indochinese Sand Snake Psammophis condanarus from rice paddy in Dong Khanthung PNBCA, July 1998. Sole record for Lao PDR. B. L. Stuart / WCS. A yellow phase Oriental Whip Snake Ahaetulla prasina from a shrub in grassland on the Nakai Plateau, March 1998. Green and grey colour phases of this polymorphic species have also been recorded in Lao PDR. B. L. Stuart / WCS.
