The large-eyed bamboo snake, or big-eyed bamboo snake, is a mildly venomous, rear-fanged snake endemic to Asia. It is a fairly variable species, with brownish and almost blackish shades and short crossbars. It preys on frogs and lizards. The potency of its venom is currently unknown (Wikipedia, general species account).

It is oviparous, and an adult female may lay as many as ten eggs. It is found in north-east India, Nepal, Bhutan, Myanmar, Thailand, West Malaysia, Vietnam, Laos and south-west China, and in the Sylhet region of Bangladesh. The sources opened give nothing on size or habitat, so none is stated.
