Sibon sanniolus, commonly known as the pygmy snail sucker or pygmy snail-eating snake, is a species of small snake which is found in Mexico, Belize, and Guatemala.
Sibon sanniolus is a relatively common snake that occurs in tropical semi-deciduous forest and thorn forest, and also in degraded forest.
S. sanniolus reaches sexual maturity in eight months and produces a single clutch per year.
Two subspecies are recognized as being valid, including the nominotypical subspecies.
Nota bene: A trinomial authority or a binomial authority in parentheses indicates that the subspecies or species was originally described in a genus other than Sibon.
The subspecific name, neilli, is in honor of American herpetologist Wilfred T. Neill.
