Stegonotus cucullatus

(Slatey-grey Snake)

Description

This dark grey snake has a white to cream belly, pale on the flanks with some dark flecks. Although it can climb well it normally forages on the ground where it preys chiefly on frogs but will eat other small vertebrates and eggs. Non-venomous, usually out at night, it is mainly associated with rainforests and streams but can be found associated with buildings.
