About the Lehmann's Ground Snake
Atractus lehmanni, also known commonly as Lehmann's ground snake, is a species of snake in the subfamily Dipsadinae of the family Colubridae. The species is endemic to Colombia. The specific name, lehmanni, is in honor of German botanist Friedrich Carl Lehmann.
A. lehmanni has 17 rows of dorsal scales at midbody, and eight maxillary teeth. It is uniformally dark brown dorsally. The preferred natural habitat of A. lehmanni is unknown because much of its geographic range is disturbed, having been converted for agricultural uses.
A. lehmanni is terrestrial and fossorial. A. lehmanni is oviparous. A. lehmanni is a member of the A. trilineatus species group. Boettger O (1898).
