This animal was caught by a fisherman in northwestern Madagascar, about a month ago. It had a long, thin, cylindrical body, at least 0.9 m in length, and appeared not to have any scales. The head had already been removed by the fisherman when it was photographed. It was caught in a mangrove area, most likely (but not definitely) in salt water. The fisherman said that this species was locally referred to as 'tsiangala fitolo'.

I would be grateful for any help with identifying this species. Thank you.
