Red-Tailed Green Rat Snake

The red-tailed green rat snake (Gonyosoma oxycephalum) is a large arboreal colubrid of South-East Asian rainforest. It measures 160-230 cm, with females reaching 2.4 m and males slightly smaller but more brightly coloured. The body is long and slender, bright to light green and sometimes marked with a black net-like pattern, while the tail may be orange, brown or grey depending on locality; a grey morph with a yellow head occurs on Panay in the Philippines. The head is narrow, with large, sharp-sighted eyes and a dark line across the eye. The labials are yellow to yellow-green, but the mouth lining is black and the tongue blue. Broad, smooth ventral scales suit it to moving through trees and along branches. It spends almost its whole life in trees and tree cavities and rarely descends. Diurnal, it takes birds and their eggs, lizards and bats, catching them in mid-air while hanging from a branch. It matures at four years, lays three to eight eggs between September and January, and the young hatch after 13-16 weeks at about 45 cm.
