The Buff-striped Keelback is a small, non-venomous snake that frequently preys on the Asian Common Toad in fields, wetlands, and gardens across South and Southeast Asia, often hunting them in damp habitats like paddy fields. They are found in various natural and altered habitats, including fields, grasslands, cultivated areas, scrub, and gardens, usually near water. The Asian Common Toad is an amphibian known for its prominent parotoid glands behind its eyes, which secrete a toxic, milky fluid when threatened.
