Black Headed Cat Snake

The Black-headed Cat Snake is a unique colubrid species native to Thailand. Reaching an impressive length of up to 1.7 meters, it primarily inhabits forested regions. Its daytime retreats include the insides of hollow logs or beneath ground-level ledges, providing it with concealment and protection. Named for its distinctive black-hued head, this primarily tree-dwelling snake does venture to the forest floor, driven by its predatory instincts. With a varied diet, it preys on creatures like lizards, frogs, birds, small mammals, and even other snakes. While the snake's bite is essentially non-threatening to humans, it can result in slight pain.
