A closer look
Natural history & identification
Historical conservation assessment · 2016
Vulnerable · B2ab(ii,iii) in the 2016 IUCN status reproduced in the 2018 Philippine synopsis. This is a historical assessment, not a verified current Red List category.
Historical assessment · p. 427, species account, Conservation status [IUCN]
2018 synthesis; assessment labelled [2016], IUCN version 3.1.
A current assessment and its taxonomic scope still need checking. The synopsis flags the Luzon cf. mcnamarae population as potentially distinct.
Reproduction
The species account records egg-laying reproduction. A verified Philippine clutch-size range, incubation interval and breeding calendar are not established here.
Reproductive mode reported for this named species.
Mode alone does not establish litter or clutch size, seasonal timing, or captive husbandry requirements.
Philippine distribution
The atlas records Pseudorabdion mcnamarae from these named Philippine areas: Luzon, Panay, Negros, Cebu. These are literature areas rather than a continuous range boundary.
Literature documented · Existing checklist occurrence statement and distribution review
The original evidence level is retained.
A country listing cannot establish an island or a precise locality.
Taxonomic context
Pseudorabdion mcnamarae is retained in the atlas’s dated checklist under Colubridae. The authority is (TAYLOR 1917). Earlier names and the original source notes are preserved below for comparison.

Venom classification not yet added · Effects not yet summarised in this atlas
Observe from a distance. Do not handle, corner or capture a snake to identify it. An incomplete venom account is not evidence that a species is safe to handle.
After a suspected snakebite, keep the person still and arrange urgent medical care. Avoid tight tourniquets, cutting, suction and unproven remedies. Do not wait to identify the snake before seeking help.
