Boiga Forsteni (Paperback)

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Forsten's cat snake (Boiga forsteni) is a species of rear-fanged colubrid found in Nepal, Sri Lanka, and India (Sikkim, Maharashtra). The specific name is in honor of Dutch naturalist Eltio Alagondas Forsten (1811-1843). The anterior palatine and mandibular teeth are considerably larger than the others. The eye is about as long as its distance from the nostril. The rostral scale is broader than it is deep and the internasals are much shorter than the prefrontals. The frontal is nearly as long as its distance from the end of the snout, which is shorter than the parietal scales. The loreal is square or deeper than it is long.
