Boiga ceylonensis

The Boiga ceylonensis, more commonly known as the Sri Lankan Cat Snake, is a prominent inhabitant of Thailand's tropical forests. While it predominantly occupies the dense undergrowth of low-lying rainforests, its adaptability also sees it thriving in swampy terrains. This snake's dietary preferences lean towards geckos, frogs, and bird eggs, but it doesn't hesitate to consume smaller snakes when the opportunity arises. Demonstrating remarkable dichromatism, the Boiga ceylonensis showcases two distinct color patterns: a vibrant green hue punctuated by dark stripes and an alternate brown shade adorned with thick, prominent orange bands. Noteworthy for its slender physique among the cat snake species, its captivatingly large eyes, equipped with vertical pupils, add to its unique appeal.
