About the Puff-faced Water Snake

The puff-faced water snake (Homalopsis buccata), also known as the masked water snake, is a non-venomous, semi-aquatic species found in Southeast Asia. It inhabits freshwater environments such as rivers, swamps, and rice paddies, where it preys on fish and amphibians. This nocturnal snake is known for its distinctive dark facial markings and its ability to remain motionless in the water while waiting to ambush prey. Despite its somewhat intimidating appearance, it is not aggressive toward humans and is often found near human settlements.
