Dendrelaphis gorei (Wall, 1910) |
Dendrelaphis gorei (often called Gore's Bronzeback or referred to as a Himalayan Bronzeback) is a species of tree snake. It can be found in parts of India (Darjeeling, Assam, and Arunachal Pradesh), Myanmar, Vietnam, and China (Xinjiang, Tibet). The snake is highly variable, typically non-venomous (some have enlarged rear fangs and toxin saliva) with large, regular scales on head.
