Lead Section
Concise, and does a good job of introducing the animal. Doesn't do a great job describing later sections.

Content
It does a good job explaining what little we know about the snake.

Tone and Balance
Very neutral, explains both sides of taxonomy issues. Also discusses facts on the snake, not much more.

Sources and References
Sources are lacking. Lots of citation with names, not many link citations. It would be beneficial for someone to add the sources in.

Organization and Writing Quality
Well organized, well written.

Images and Media
It does, one image of the snake and an image of distribution map.

Talk Page Discussion
Debated deletion because there is not much information.

Overall impression
Good article, but needs updating. Also the snake needs more research done.
