What is gold ringed cat snake?

The gold ringed cat snake, also known as the brown-spotted cat snake, is a non-venomous species of snake found in Southeast Asia, including areas of Thailand, Myanmar, Indonesia, and Malaysia. It is known for its distinctive golden rings and brown spots on its body, which provide camouflage in its natural habitat of leaf litter and forest floors.

The gold ringed cat snake can grow up to five feet in length and feeds on small animals such as lizards, frogs, and rodents. It is often kept as a pet due to its calm demeanor and ease of care, but it should be handled with care as it can still bite if threatened.

While not considered dangerous to humans, the gold ringed cat snake is still an important part of its ecosystem and plays a valuable role in controlling populations of small animals. It is also threatened by habitat loss and collection for the pet trade, making conservation efforts important for this species.
