The snake is native to eastern Panama and western Columbia.The four other snakes include the canopy snail-eating snake, Marley's snail-eating snake — named after the daughter ofA distribution map of the five newly-discovered species of snail-eating snakesUnfortunately, the newly-discovered snakes are already under threat by illegal mining of gold and copper in the forests they inhabit, the study authors note.
