Gold-ringed Cat Snake - a photo on Flickriver

Family : COLUBRIDAE
Species : Boiga dendrophila
Maximum Size : 2.5 metres

Also known as the Yellow-ringed Cat Snake, or Mangrove Snake, this distinctively coloured species is unmistakable.

It occurs mainly in mangrove or riverine habitats. By day it lies motionless on overhanging branches, but at night becomes active coming to the ground and feeding on other vertebrates including rodents, small birds and their eggs, frogs, bats and sometimes other snakes. It is also an adept swimmer.

This is a venomous, rear-fanged species. Though it may appear quite docile by day it should not be approached too closely as some specimens may be unpredictable in temperament.
