It is resistant to the skin poisons of toads, probably because of its enlarged adrenal glands, which release large amounts of hormones to counter the toxins.1

When threatened, it often bluffs by striking with its mouth closed, and it does not try to bite.1

It is a rear-fanged snake, and its enlarged teeth are at the back of the upper jaw.1

Females can store sperm until spring, so they can be fertilised later.1
