Xenodermid Snakes
Xenodermidae
Xenodermatidae is a family of snakes from South, Southeast, and East Asia. They are small or moderately sized snakes, never more than 80 cm (31 in) but typically less than 55 cm (22 in) in total length. They are secretive, probably nocturnal, and typically inhabit moist forest habitats. They seem to be opportunistic carnivores, preying on other vertebrates.
