ENDEMIC SNAKES OF THE PHILIPPINES

Yellow Spotted Philippine Pitviper (Trimeresurus flavomaculatus). Small in length, moderately long bodied, short, prehensile tailed snake. Can grow to a maximum of about 0.95 meters. Head is sub-triangular shaped, broad, slightly flattened and distinct from narrow neck. Snout is moderately short. Eyes are medium in size with vertically elliptical pupils. Found in damper lowland plains and jungle of the Philippines. Mainly a nocturnal and arboreal snake that will often descend to the ground in search of prey. Feeds mainly on frogs, geckos and fishes and some small mammals.

Red–tailed Blind Snake (Malayotyphlops ruficauda). This poorly known species is endemic to the Philippines, where it has been recorded from the islands of Luzon including Mount Isarog, Tablas and Marinduque.

Philippine Forest Cat Snake (Boiga philippina), has a very slender body that usually reaches lengths of up to 7 feet. The big head is of typical Boiga fashion with big eyes and elliptical pupils much like a cat's eye. The white chin extends down the neck to almost half of its body. Body coloration maybe tan, light brown, brown, coffee-color to a pale orange. The underside is made-up of big belly scute scales that is usually tan to orange in color. Underneath the scales of the neck are yellow, black and white markings. Tongue color is black with white or gray tips.

Luzon Forest Cat Snake (Boiga dendrophila divergens). One of the biggest cat snake species, averaging 6–8 feet (1.8–2.4 m) in length. It is considered mildy venomous. Although its venom is said to be slightly stronger than most Boiga species, its rounded mouth is very unlikely to cause an envenomating bite. If it does come to a point of envenomation, there is swelling in the bite
