Gonyosoma
''Gonyosoma'' is a genus of snakes in the family Colubridae. The genus is endemic to South Asia. Description There are a few distinct morphological characteristics that distinguish ''Gonyosoma'' from ''Elaphe''. In scutellation there are 2-3 supralabials that contact the eye, with typically two in ''G. oxycephalum'', and three in ''G. jansenii''. The supralabial at the posterior of the eye is highly arched around the back of the eye. The loreal scale is thin and elongate, and appears stretched between the preocular and the nasal. Other diagnostic features is an elongate left rudimentary lung (70–141 mm), and a distinct hemipenes structure. Behavior These snakes have the ability to laterally compress and inflate the first third of their bodies when threatened. The inflated region is typically recoiled into an S, which is elevated above the horizontal forming a typical striking position. The inflation of the body exposes the black and white diagonal bands of the intersti ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Gonyosoma Oxycephalum
''Gonyosoma oxycephalum'', known commonly as the arboreal ratsnake, the red-tailed green ratsnake, and the red-tailed racer, is a species of snake in the family Colubridae. The species is endemic to Southeast Asia. It was first described by Friedrich Boie in 1827.

It has smaller, smooth scales on its back, which is usually bright green or light green and may have a black net-like pattern. A gray-colored morph with a yellow head exists in Panay, in the Philippines. As some of its common names indicate, the snake has a green body with a red tail, but is usually brown. It also has a dark line horizontally across the eye. On the sides of its black tongue there may be brown and blue colour. The top of the head may be dark green, yellow-green, or yellow in colour.
