Boiga multomaculata, also called the many-spotted cat snake, large-spotted cat snake and marbled cat-eyed snake, is a species of rear-fanged colubrid snakes.
The vine snake is an opisthoglyphous (or "rear-fanged") species that possesses two larger, but blunted, peg-like teeth at the upper back of the mouth, which are slightly grooved on the sides to allow for delivery of a toxic salival fluid. Designed to quickly immobilize small animals, this salival fluid ensures the sufficient dispatching of prey ...
All 39 snake taxa [1] that are known to naturally occur in Indiana [2] [3] are tabulated below, along with their population ranges in the state, [4] [5] conservation status, [6] [7] and level of danger they pose to humans (upon biting them).
As a result, it has recently been reclassified as a dangerous species. Rear-fanged snakes need to bite and hold on, or repeatedly bite, to have any effect on humans. A chewing action facilitates envenomation, as the venom ducts open to fangs that are externally grooved (not hollow) and are posterior in the oral cavity.
Ahaetulla, commonly referred to as Asian vine snakes or Asian whip snakes, is a genus of colubrid snakes distributed throughout tropical Asia.They are considered by some scientists to be mildly venomous and are what is commonly termed as 'rear-fanged' or more appropriately, opisthoglyphous, meaning their enlarged teeth or fangs, intended to aid in venom delivery, are located in the back of the ...

It is commonly and alternatively known as the false water cobra and the Brazilian smooth snake. [3] The false water cobra is so named because when the snake is threatened it "hoods" as a true cobra (Naja species) does. Unlike a true cobra ...
