Hebius kerinciensis, also known as the Gunung Kerinchi keelback, is a species of snake of the family Colubridae. The snake is only known from the Kerinci Seblat National Park, Sumatra (Indonesia),[1][2] from the slope of the eponymous Mount Kerinchi (=Gunung Kerinchi).[2] The species is only known from a single specimen that was collected in the submontane forest in a mountain stream. The specimen was feeding on tadpoles.[1]
