22 Common Thailand Tree Snakes

Thailandβs Tree Snakes
I have the following tree snakes listed in the βNon-Venomousβ section of the site because they are very mildly venomous, and not known to affect human beings β even with prolonged or repeated bites. The Golden Tree Snake has enough venom to temporarily paralyze a Tokay Gecko (Gecko gekko), and Iβve seen them knock a big Tokay out of a tree where it just lays on the ground immovable until the snake eats it.
Bronzeback Snakes
- Banded Bronzeback βΒ Dendrelaphis striatus
- Elegant Bronzeback βΒ Dendrelaphis formosus
- Common Bronzeback βΒ Dendrelaphis pictus
- Mountain Bronzeback βΒ Dendrelaphis subocularis
- Striped Bronzeback β Dendrelaphis caudolineatus
- Wallβs Bronzeback βΒ Dendrelaphis cyanochloris
Cat-eyed Snakes
There have been some mild to severe reactions to bites by some members of the genus Boiga. Caution is indicated, though nobody has ever died from one of the snakes listed below.
- Banded Green Cat Snake βΒ Boiga saengsomi
- Black-headed Cat Snake β Boiga nigriceps β this snakeβs venom can be stronger than other cat-eyed snakes in the Boiga genus.
- Dog-toothed Cat Snake β Boiga cynodon
- Green Cat Snake Β β Boiga cyanea
- Grey Cat Snake β Boiga siamensis
- Jasperβs Cat Snake β Boiga jaspidea. One of my favorites and I have not found it yet. Sure, I havenβt gone far to look, but I thought they might be in Krabi province since they are found in Khao Sok and South of here in Trang.
- Many-spotted Cat Snake βΒ Boiga multomaculata
- White-spotted Cat Snake β Boiga drapiezii
- Yellow-banded Cat Snake (Mangrove Cat-eyed Snake) β Boiga dendrophila β this snakeβs venom is strong in some cases, or with some individuals.
