林蛇屬

林蛇屬（Boiga），是蛇亞目游蛇科下的一個有微量毒素的蛇屬，屬下的蛇類有貓眼蛇、貓蛇、林蛇或棕樹蛇等稱呼。主要分布於東南亞、印度及澳洲，但由於牠們擁有堅韌的適應能力及生存能力，因此其分布地正向世界上其他適合的棲息地擴張。 截止2022年6月3日，根据reptile-database中的数据，本属包含37种： 安達曼林蛇 Boiga andamanensis (Wall, 1909) 莱特林蛇 Boiga angulata (Peters, 1861) 甘加鲁瓦林蛇 Boiga barnesii (Günther, 1869) 贝氏林蛇 Boiga beddomei (Wall, 1909) 明古鲁林蛇 Boiga bengkuluensis Orlov, Kudryavtzev, Ryabov & Shumakov, 2003 鲍氏林蛇 Boiga bourreti Tillack, Ziegler & Khac Quyet, 2004 Boiga buruensis Hoser, 2016 斯里兰卡林蛇 Boiga ceylonensis (Günther, 1858) 綠林蛇 Boiga cyanea (Duméril, Bibron & Duméril, 1854) 犬齒林蛇 Boiga cynodon (Boie, 1827) 黃環林蛇 Boiga dendrophila (Boie, 1827) 皮尔梅德林蛇 Boiga dightoni (Boulenger, 1894) Boiga donagheyae Hoser, 2017 白點林蛇 Boiga drapiezii (Boie, 1827) 黄绿林蛇 Boiga flaviviridis Vogel & Ganesh, 2013 南亚林蛇 Boiga forsteni (Duméril, Bibron & Duméril, 1854) Boiga germainegreerae Hoser, 2017 东伽马林蛇 Boiga gokool 廣西林蛇 Boiga guangxiensis 豪氏林蛇 Boiga hoeseli 棕樹蛇 Boiga irregularis 碧玉林蛇 Boiga jaspidea 絞花林蛇 Boiga kraepelini 西红树林蛇 Boiga melanota 多帶樹蛇 Boiga multifasciata 繁花林蛇 Boiga multomaculata Boie, 1827 黑頭林蛇 Boiga nigriceps 颈斑林蛇 Boiga nuchalis 茶色林蛇 Boiga ochracea Theobald, 1868 菲律賓林蛇 Boiga philippina 斜點林蛇 Boiga quincunciata Boiga ranawanei Samarawickrama, Samarawickrama, Wijesena et Orlov, 2005 帶林蛇 Boiga saengsomi 舒氏林蛇 Boiga schultzei 泰国林蛇 Boiga siamensis 塔纳詹佩阿林蛇 Boiga tanahjampeana 撒氏林蛇 Boiga thackerayi Giri, Deepak, Captain, Pawar & Tillack, 2019 伽马林蛇 Boiga trigonata (Schneider, 1802) 尼科巴林蛇 Boiga wallachi Das, 1998 韦氏林蛇 Boiga westermanni 惠氏林蛇 Boiga whitakeri Ganesh, Mallik, Achyuthan, Shanker & Vogel, 2021 林蛇普遍體型較幼瘦，體長較長，頭部及眼睛比例較大，有多種顏色及體紋。大部分林蛇體紋都呈帶狀，也有部分林蛇體紋以斑點為主或無體紋。顏色方面，林蛇有黑色、棕色、綠色、白色及黃色各種。另外，林蛇屬卵生動物。 林蛇一般棲息於樹木上，屬夜行性動物，以獵食蜥蜴、鳥類及鼠類動物為主要食物。牠們的毒性因應品種而異，但一般不認為其毒素是對人類有危險的致命性。 Reptarium.cz Reptile Database 中的 Boiga Surya Narayanan, Sandeep Das, Y.
