The mangrove snake or gold-ringed cat snake (''Boiga dendrophila'') is a species of rear-fanged colubrid. It is one of the biggest cat snake species, averaging 6–8 feet (1.8–2.4 m) in length. It is considered mildy-venomous; although moderate envenomations resulting in intense swelling have been reported, there has never been a confirmed fatality.〔http://www.venomdoc.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=3760&sid=f8f07a63e1c496b4ba816f8f7c2dba2d〕 == Description == Snout longer than eye; rostral more broad than deep, visible from above; internasals as long as or shorter than the prae-frontals; frontal as long as or slightly shorter than its distance from the tip of the snout; loreal as long as deep or more long; a praeocular extending to the upper surface of the head, not reaching the frontal; two postoculars; temporals 2 + 2 or 2 + 3; eight (nine) upper labials, third to fifth entering the eye; four or five lower labials in contact with the anterior chin-shields; latter as long as or longer than the posterior; anterior palatine teeth not much larger than the posterior.
