Oligodon moricei, commonly known as the Morice's kukri snake, is a species of colubrid snake. It is endemic to south Vietnam. This species differs from its cogenerates by the combination of a “rusty brown” vertebral stripe edged by two black stripes, 12 maxillary teeth, 17 dorsal scale rows, a large number of ventral scales, seven supralabials and a dark belly.[2]
