Common krait Snake |sangchoor |
This common krait is distributed from Sindh to West Bengal, throughout South India, and Sri Lanka, at elevations up to about 1,600 m (5,200 ft). It has also been recorded in Afghanistan, Iran, Bangladesh, and Nepal.[
It lives in a wide variety of habitats, from fields and low scrub jungle to settled areas. It rests in termite mounds, brick piles, rat holes, and even inside houses.It is frequently encountered in water or in proximity to a water source.
Common krait
Behavioral differences during day and night have been reported in B. caeruleus. During the day, it is sluggish and generally docile. It often hides in rodent holes, loose soil, or beneath debris, so is rarely seen. It often rolls its body into a loose, coiled ball, keeping its head well concealed. When in this "balled" condition, the snake allows considerable handling, but overhandling often instigates bites. At night, though, the snake is very active and escapes by hissing loudly, or keeping still, occasionally biting the source of the annoyance.
The common krait feeds primarily on other snakes, and cannibalizes on other kraits, including the young. It also feeds on small mammals (such as rats, and mice), lizards, and frogs. The young are known to eat arthropods and the blind snakes .
