A mildly venomous, yet docile species, the Oriental Whip Snake is commonly found in forested and rural areas. It feeds on vertebrates, including small nesting birds, lizards and frogs. The young are born alive, and are brownish in colour. Its profile is slim and elegant, and adult colouration may vary from light brown to dull yellow-green and often a startling fluorescent green. There is commonly a thin pale line along the sides of the body. It is most commonly encountered whilst sunning itself on secondary growth along the forest edge.
