The Indochinese rat snake is a large non-venomous snake up to two meters long. It lives in Southeast Asia, moves quickly on the ground and trees, and hunts rodents.
The Indochinese rat snake is distinguished by its smooth scales and high speed of movement. It is important for nature because it eats many rodents and helps maintain balance in forest and field ecosystems.
Immature form that undergoes metamorphosis before adulthood.
