About this species
Boie's ground snake (Atractus badius) is a nocturnal and semi-fossorial snake species in the Colubridae family. Like the other members of the Atractus genus, its diet is composed predominantly of earthworms, which it actively hunts in the leaf litter of the primary and secondary rainforests it inhabits. The IUCN lists the species as 'Least Concern' because of its wide distribution, including in protected areas.
