The yellow-spotted wolf snake is a medium-sized non-venomous snake with a dark body and yellow spots. It lives in South Asia, is active at night, and hunts small animals.
The yellow-spotted wolf snake differs from related species by the special arrangement of yellow spots and smooth scales. It is beneficial for nature because it limits the population of lizards and frogs.
