Achalinus zugorum is a species of snake in the family Xenodermidae.

The species, which was described in 2020 from Ha Giang Province, Vietnam, was discovered by Aryeh H.

[1][2][3] It is dark in color or iridescent, with scales morphing from blues to greens.

[1][2] Accordingly, the common name Zugs' odd-scaled snake has been coined for this species.

A. zugorum is characterized by its odd non-overlapping scale pattern that differentiates its genus from all other snakes.
