| Boiga drapiezii (Boje, 1827) |
The White-Spotted Cat Snake (Boiga drapiezii) is a long and slender cat snake species that is common throughout its range. There are two known phases; the green phase has a marbled green body with a more robust head and width. The brown phase is much more slender with orange brown triangle-like bands across the body. This species is in need of urgent review, with possibly more subspecies awaiting discovery and subsequent description.
