Description

This snake is found in India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia and Myanmar and can grow up to 60" long. They are only mildly venomous, as their fangs are in the back of their jaw, so they would have to chew on their prey before releasing any venom. Therefore, a bit to a hand would be quickly removed and not receive any venom. When threatened they will open their mouth wide and and expand their bode so that it looks thicker that usual and as its skin stretches, it turns to green with black and white markings, looking almost like a different snake.
