Mangrove Snakes (Babies)

The Mangrove Snake or Gold-ringed Cat Snake (Boiga dendrophila) is a species of rear-fanged colubrid. It is one of the biggest cat snake species, averaging 6-8 feet (1.8-2.4 m) in length. It is considered mildy-venomous, but moderate envenomations resulting in intense swelling have been reported, though there have been no severe cases of hospitalisation or fatalities.

Feeds on small mammals, lizards, frogs, snakes, fish.

Mostly nocturnal. It is a very aggressive snake. Even captive bred specimens are too nervous to be handled and will strike repetitively at a distance.
