This species is part of the international pet trade and more research is needed before a more accurate assessment can take place. |

| Major Threat(s): | This species is kept as a pet. No reports on captive breeding exist and this species is exported in "partly large" numbers from Viet Nam (Kreuzer and Grossmann 2003). As information on this species in the wild is poor, it is not known if the threat of the pet trade is significantly impacting this species. |
| Conservation Actions: | There are currently no conservation measures in place for this species. Research on the species' distribution, population status, habitat, ecology and threats is recommended. |
