Coniophanes andresensis
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Coniophanes andresensis faces severe threats from habitat destruction due to agricultural expansion and urban development on Isla San Andrés. The species' extremely limited range makes it particularly vulnerable to any environmental changes or human activities on the small Caribbean island. Introduced species and potential climate change impacts on the island's ecosystems pose additional risks to this endemic snake's survival.
Habitat
This endemic snake inhabits the tropical dry forests and scrubland vegetation of Isla San Andrés in the Caribbean Sea. It is adapted to the island's coastal and inland terrestrial environments, including areas with dense vegetation cover and rocky substrates.
