Dog-toothed cat snake
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

Paano ito makikilala
- A slender, large snake that can reach more than 2 m in total length1
- Yellowish or pale reddish-brown back with dark brown or black crossbars or spots1
- A wavy or irregular dark stripe behind each eye, with a dark streak on each side of the head1
- Yellowish belly, sometimes plain or marbled with brown1
- Strongly enlarged front teeth in the upper and lower jaws. Indonesian populations include black individuals.1
Madalas mapagkamalang: Other similar snakes have a more even or nearly even upper and lower line behind the eye, while this species has a distinctly wavy or irregular one. The closely related Boiga hoeseli is found in the Lesser Sundas east of Bali, including Sumbawa and Flores, and not where this species lives.1
