Kayuadi Island (Id:Pulau Kayuadi) is an island in the Selayar Islands of South Sulawesi, Indonesia.[1] Most people on the island speak Selayar.[2] The island's economy is based around agriculture, with cassava and banana being major crops. As of 1998, the harvesting of sea cucumbers (tripang) was a major occupation.[3] Kayuadi is one of the few islands home to a smaller subspecies of reticulated python.[4]
