Oligodon ancorus, commonly known as the northern short-headed snake, is a species of colubrid[1][2] snake found on the islands of Luzon and Mindoro in the Philippines, and the island of Sumatra in Indonesia. However, whether the populations from Sumatra, described as Oligodon rhombifer, belong to this species has been contested.[2]
