Boodontinae |
A Colubrid (from Latin coluber, snake) is a snake that is a member of the Colubridae family. It is a broad classification of snakes that includes well over half of all snake species on earth. While most colubrids are non-venomous (or have venom that isn't known to be harmful to humans) and are normally harmless, a few groups, such as genus Boiga, Coluber and Rhabdophis, can produce medically significant bites. In addition, the Boomslang and African Twig Snake have both caused human fatalities.The venom-injecting fangs associated with venomous colubrids are almost always in the back of the mouth, compared to vipers and elapids.
Examples of snakes found in the colubridae family include:
- Queen snake
- Common Keelback
- King Snake
- Corn Snake
- Bull Snake
- Rat Snake
- Garter Snake
- Hognose Snake
- Indigo snake
- Smooth Snake
- Water Snake
- Mussurana
