Christmas Island blind snake

[2] The preferred natural habitat of R. exocoeti is forest, at altitudes from sea level to 300 m (980 ft).

[3] The species R. exocoeti is classified as Endangered (EN) on the IUCN Red List with the following criteria: D2 (v2.3, 1994).

[1] This means that it is not Critically Endangered, but is facing a high risk of extinction in the wild in the medium-term future.

This is because the population is very small and characterized by an acute restriction in its area of occupancy.

Therefore, it is possible that this species may become Critically Endangered or even Extinct within a very short period of time.
