The many-banded tree snake is a rear-fanged colubrid. It is greyish above with oblique black crossbars and a series of whitish spots along the vertebral line. On the head it has a pair of black streaks from the prefrontal scales to the back of the head, another black streak from the eye to the corner of the jaw, and another along the nape. The upper lip scales are black-edged (Wikipedia, general species account).

Underneath it is spotted or checkered with dark brown or black. Adults are about 875mm in total length. It is found in India from Himachal Pradesh to Sikkim, in Nepal and in Bhutan. The sources opened give nothing on diet, habitat or breeding, so none is stated.
