A non-venomous snake that is about 90 cm in length. The body has intermixing brownish-grey and yellowish-grey markings. The front of the body has distinct black lateral stripes with a white spot on each end. Diurnal, oviparous, it is docile in nature and particularly likes to feed on frogs and occasional insects. Widely distributed across regions below the altitude of 1000 m in Taiwan, it inhabits plains, basins, low altitude mountains, riversides, paddy fields, cultivated lands, and grasslands, staying close to water sources. It used to be commonly seen around paddy fields. However, its population has largely decreased in recent years. (Photo courtesy of Li Ying-song)
