General Info

Diet
False cat-eyed snake primarily consumes a diet of amphibians, notably various frog species. It utilizes its rear, enlarged fangs to immobilize prey before swallowing them whole. Elusive, nocturnal hunting habits further highlight its unique dietary traits.
Appearance
False cat-eyed snake is a medium-sized snake with a slender body. Its skin is smooth and glossy, mainly characterized by dark brown to black coloration intermittently interrupted with broad, distinct yellow stripes. The head holds large, rounded eyes that are a feature of the species. Notably, false cat-eyed snake shows no apparent difference in appearance due to age, gender, or subspecies.
Behavior
False cat-eyed snake is a nocturnal and solitary species, notable for its predatory behavior towards small mammals and amphibians. It lacks the communal or territory marking behaviors seen in other species. Its distinctive hood-spreading defensive posture mimics more venomous species, aiding in its survival within its natural habitat.
