The colubrids are a large and diverse group of harmless snakes that are found on every continent except Antarctica.
Most species of colubrids are primarily terrestrial or arboreal, with some adaptations for an aquatic lifestyle.
Colubrids are a difficult group to identify, as many species have evolved to resemble other snakes that are venomous for protection.
The species of colubrids exhibit a wide range of distinct physical characteristics, such as patterns, colors, and adaptations specific to their environment.
While not as well-known as venomous species, colubrids are numerous and play a vital role in the ecosystems they inhabit.
