Common Krait is indigenous to India and surrounding countries. It inhabits grasslands, scrub forests as well as cultivated land, where close encounters with humans are frequent, where it sometimes even enters houses. Even so, it only attacks when it is extremely necessary. The average length is about 1 meter, and the head is a bit distinct from the slender body. Being mostly nocturnal species, it is darkly colored, black or dark blue, with thin white bands throughout the whole body.
