DescriptionThis species can grow to a meter and a half in length and is harmless to humans. Bright brown spots on its back are likened to the shape of coins (hence the name). It is sometimes mistaken for vipers, but lacks the squat body plan and connected spots found in regional venomous species. This snake is a diurnal, actively foraging predator with a diet consisting mainly of rodents, lizards, birds and other snakes.
