The new species was observed eating only the eggs of other reptiles, especially geckos, which live nearby among the limestone caverns.
Scientists have caught three snakes. Oligodon speleoserpens is characterised by a light brown body, scales with black outlines and a light coloured head. It is likely that there are many representatives of this species in the cave depths.
