Oligodon mcdougalli, Arakan kukri snake or McDougall's kukri snake, is a species of colubrid snake. It is endemic to Myanmar[1][2] where it is only known from two coastal areas in the Rakhine State at elevations below 125 m (410 ft). Although only three specimens are known, Oligodon mcdougalli has been classified as of "least concern" because its distribution area has relatively pristine lowland tropical forests and there are no known threats.[1]
