Facts

• Rhino Rat Snakes are named for the distinctive horn‑like scale on the tip of their snout, which becomes more pronounced with age.
• Juveniles often hatch gray but transition into a striking leaf‑green as they mature.
• This species is semi‑arboreal, alert, and active, making it a visually engaging display snake for naturalistic enclosures.
