	Pareas Formosensis Formosa slug snake or Taiwan slug snake (''Pareas formosensis'') is a species of non-venomous snake in the family Pareatidae. It is endemic to Taiwan. Taxonomy It has been suggested that ''Pareas chinensis'' should be treated as a synonym of ''P. formosensis'', but recent genetic research does not support this: ''P. formosensis'' does not appear closely related to ''P. chinensis'' but is instead a sister species to '' P. hamptoni''. The delineation of these species is not clear. In future, ''P. formosensis'' might become a subspecies of ''P. hamptoni'', or some snakes from the mainland might be classified as ''P. formosensis''. Further studies have shown that ''Pareas komaii'' is a valid species, instead of being a synonym of ''P. formosensis''. The study also described a new species, ''Pareas atayal'', that have been confused with ''P. formosensis''. Thus, three ''Pareas'' species occur in Taiwan.

picture info	Pareas Iwasakii Iwasaki's snail-eater (''Pareas iwasakii'') is a species of snake in the family Pareidae. The species is endemic to the Yaeyama Islands in the southern Ryukyu Islands, Japan. Etymology The specific name, ''iwasakii'', is in honor of Japanese meteorologist Takuji Iwasaki. Ecology ''Pareas iwasakii'' is a snail-eating specialist; even newly hatched individuals feed on snails. It has asymmetric jaws, with more teeth on the right (about 25 teeth compared to 15 teeth on the left) which facilitates feeding on snails with dextral (clockwise coiled) shells. A consequence of this asymmetry is that ''Pareas iwasakii'' is much less adept at preying on sinistral (counterclockwise coiled) snails. It systematically directs its attack on snails from the right in order to insert its lower jaw into the shell opening. The selection pressure of this predator on snails of the genus Satsuma (en) has led to a significant increase in the proportion of snails with left-facing shells, known as le ...

	Pareas Carinatus The keeled slug-eating snake (''Pareas carinatus'') is a species of snake in the family Pareidae . It is relatively widespread in Southeast Asia, from southern China (Yunnan) to Burma and Indochina to the Malay Archipelago (Borneo, Java, Lombok, Sumatra, Bali). Two subspecies are recognized: ''P. c. carinatus'' and ''P. c. unicolor'', the latter being confined to Cambodia. Keeled slug-eating snakes live in or near forests. They are nocturnal and mostly arboreal, and as the common name suggests, they feed exclusively on snails and slugs. They are oviparous. While the species is negatively affected by forest destruction, IUCN The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN; officially International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources) is an international organization working in the field of nature conservation and sustainable use of natu ... considers these effects to be localized and not threatening the species.

	Pareidae Pareidae is a small family of snakes found largely in southeast Asia, with an isolated subfamily endemic to southwestern India. It encompasses 42 species in four genera divided into two subfamilies: Pareinae and Xylophiinae. Both families are thought to have diverged from one another during the early-mid Eocene, about 40-50 million years ago. Pareidae was once considered a subfamily of Colubridae (called "Pareatinae"), but it is now known that pareids are not closely related to colubrids. The correct spelling is Pareidae, not Pareatidae. Members of the subfamily Pareinae are active, predatory snakes. Many are snail-eating snakes that have asymmetrical lower jaws, allowing them to pry the soft bodies of snails from their spiral shells. One species, ''Pareas iwasakii'', has an average of 17.5 teeth in its left mandible and 25 teeth in its right mandible. Predation by pareids on dextral (clockwise-coiled or "right handed") snails is thought to favor the evolution of sinistral (coun ...
