A large-sized, non-venomous snake that can grow to more than 2 m in length. Covered with yellow and black patterns, it has a distinct black line running across its eyes, similar to a black eyebrow, for which it is named “Black Eyebrow Beauty Snake” in Chinese. Diurnal, it also appears at night. Docile in nature, it feeds mainly on rats, small birds, and eggs. Often appearing in the plains, hills, and mountains below the altitude of 2000 m, its habitat is close to human residence and limited below the altitude of 3000 m. In the past, Beauty Rat Snake often lived around farms and preyed on rats, making it favored by farmers and were known as “Yellow Long Worm” in Chinese. (Photo courtesy of Li Ying-song)
