This study presents updated observation data and mapping of habitat suitability for the endemic snake species Platyceps gracilis (GÜNTHER, 1862). The objective is to improve understanding of its distribution patterns and conservation needs. Observations from field surveys supplemented by literature reviews and citizen science contributions were used in mapping the habitat suitability using Maxent software across Indian subcontinent. Our findings enhance the extent of its known distribution and provide insight into its preferred habitat. regions with a high potential for P. gracilis occurrence were identified by habitat suitability mapping, emphasizing priority regions for conservation efforts.
