Atractus bocki, Bock's Ground Snake

Abstract

Atractus bocki is listed as Data Deficient on the basis that, while it is inferred to have a very wide extent of occurrence (~130,000 km2) based on widely-separated records, most of which were taken a more than a century ago, it is a rarely-encountered snake whose true distribution, exposure and sensitivity to threats areunknown. Known pressures around existing localities may therefore be either major threats or localized, and an appropriate Red List assessment category cannot confidently be assigned as a result.
