Xenodermus is a genus of caenophidian snakes. It is a monotypic genus, containing only Xenodermus javanicus, also known as the dragonsnake, Javan tubercle snake, Javan mudsnake, or rough-backed litter snake. It is considered to be rare. (Though no conservation efforts are active.) The snake is fully nocturnal and subsists on a diet of frogs. Dragonsnakes lay several clutches of 2-4 eggs each year in the rainy season (October–February).
