The first was of one caught at Mandai Lake Road on 13 June 1988 (Lim 1988b). The next eight were more recent, beginning with a dead specimen found at a construction site at Shenton Way on 14 May 2013 (Thomas & Boopal 2014), a live specimen found at Perahu Lane in LCK on 14 April 2015 (Maury & Low 2015), another live specimen found at Gardens by the Bay on 1 January 2017 (Ng 2017), a dead specimen collected from OUTR on 20 September 2018, two snakes seen on 13 August 2021 at Gardens by the Bay, a gravid female caught entering a home along Yio Chu Kang Road on 21 March 2022 (Goh & Pek 2022), and one photographed on the fence of a residential building on 16 April 2022 (Goh & Loh 2022). Since <i>C. ornata</i> ranges from India and Sri Lanka eastwards to Indochina and south to northern Peninsular Malaysia (Das 2010), it is believed the individuals in Singapore were either illegally imported pets or entered as stowaways on ornamental plants (Thomas & Boopal 2014; Maury & Low 2015). However, the authors of both these papers overlooked a relatively recent record of <i>C. ornata</i> taken from Endau-Rompin National Park, which expanded its distribution down to southern Peninsular Malaysia (Shahriza <i>et al.</i> 2012).
