It is a rear-fanged (opisthoglyphous) snake, meaning its fangs are at the back of the mouth. Its venom is relatively mild and is adapted to subdue small, fast lizards and mammals. Because the fangs are at the back, it usually has to chew on its target to inject enough venom.1

The venom is generally considered harmless to people. A bite may cause mild pain and swelling around the bite, but it is not medically significant.1

Its front teeth are long and curved, its middle teeth are shorter, and its rear fangs are long and grooved.1

2

Its genus name, Trimorphodon, means 'three-shaped teeth', because it has three kinds of teeth in its upper jaw.1

3

Although it is mostly a rock dweller, it can climb steep cliffs and sometimes trees or shrubs.1
