Colubrids are a diverse family of snakes known as Colubridae, which includes over 200 species. They are found in various habitats around the world, except for extreme deserts and polar regions. Colubrids are generally non-venomous, although some species possess mild venom that is not harmful to humans.
These snakes vary greatly in size, color, and behavior. Common examples include the garter snake and the rat snake. Colubrids play essential roles in their ecosystems, helping to control populations of rodents and other small animals. Their adaptability makes them one of the most successful groups of snakes.
