About this animal / product
WC - Madagascan Gold Phase Cat Snake - Madagasgarophis colubrinus - Unsexed
Madagascan Cat Eye Snakes are a mildly venomous snake species native to the island of Madagascar. They don’t have “fangs” at the front of their mouth they simply have an enlarged tooth on each side of their mouth approximately level with their eye. They need to chew on their prey (often Amphibians in the wild) to envenomate it to subdue it. They look very similar to Mangrove and other Cat Eye Snakes of the genus Boiga but are hardier and seem more placid in general. They rarely exceed 1m in total length and in nature feed primarily on amphibians, small lizards and small rodents. They are nocturnal hunters found in rainforest and montane areas. They are a venomous species, but they are not deemed harmful, and no licence is required to own them. The bite is not thought to be medically significant, but they are perhaps not suitable for younger children or those with allergies or sensitivities to insect bites/stings. They are generally quite a laid back species.
