Bamboo Snakes

Pseudoxenodontinae is a small subfamily of colubroid snakes, sometimes referred to as a family (Pseudoxenodontidae). They are found in southern and southeastern Asia, from northeast India to southern China (including Taiwan) and south into Indonesia as far east as Wallace's Line. There are 10 species in 2 genera. Most are very poorly known, such that Pseudoxenodontinae is one of the most poorly known groups of snakes.

Pseudoxenodontine snakes are small to medium-sized egg-laying snakes. Shared features of the hemipenes between Pseudoxenodon and Plagiopholis first described in 1987, were later backed up by evidence from DNA in the early-2010s.
