The dog-toothed cat snake is a large, nocturnal snake that is active at night. It lives across Southeast Asia, from southern Thailand to the Philippines and Indonesia, and it is often found in gardens, plantations and towns as well as forests. It is a rear-fanged snake, so its venom is delivered through teeth at the back of its mouth.1

In forests it lives in the canopy, high in the trees. On Bali it is relatively common in secondary forests and gardens, especially where trees and bushes grow over rivers and streams.1
