Blanford’s Bridle Snake (a.k.a. the Indian Wolf Snake) is a small, non-venomous colubrid snake species that is endemic to Asia.

It is called a bridle snake due to it’s supposed resemblance to a horse’s bridle. You have to wonder if Davison, or Blanford, or whoever it was that named it had been in the jungle too long when they made that comparison.
