Ptyas mucosa, commonly known as the Oriental rat snake, [2] dhaman or Indian rat snake, [4] is a common non-venomous species of colubrid snake found in parts of South and Southeast Asia. Dhamans are large snakes. Typical mature total length is around 1.5 to 1.95 m (4 ft 11 in to 6 ft 5 in) though some exceed 2 m (6 ft 7 in).
Ptyas is a genus of colubrid snakes. [1] This genus is one of several colubrid genera colloquially called "rat snakes" or "ratsnakes".. The generic name derives from Ancient Greek πτυάς, meaning "spitter", which referred to a kind of snake believed to spit venom in the eyes of humans, although in reality none of the Ptyas are known to spit venom.

The Indian rat snake (Ptyas mucosa) is also very large with maximum sizes of up to 3.7 m (12 ft), making it the second-largest species in the genus Ptyas. [61] [62] The Tiger rat snake (Spilotes pullatus), which usually grows to about 3 m (10 ft), has been reported to reach up to 4.2 m (14 ft), ranking it among the largest colubrids. [63]
The Oriental rat snake Ptyas mucosa is often mistaken for the Indian cobra; however, this snake is much longer and can easily be distinguished by the more prominent ridged appearance of its body. Other snakes that resemble Naja naja are the banded racer Argyrogena fasciolata and the Indian smooth snake Wallophis brachyura. [6]
