What is laophis?

There is limited information available about Laophis, but it is known to be a genus of venomous rear-fanged snakes found in Africa, south of the Sahara. The classification of Laophis has been debated, with some scientists suggesting it should be re-classified as part of the Psammophis genus. Laophis snakes are typically small to medium-sized with slender bodies and smooth scales. They are typically active during the day and feed on a range of prey including lizards, rodents, and small birds. Despite their venomous nature, Laophis snakes are generally not considered dangerous to humans as their venom is relatively mild and they are not prone to attacking without being provoked.
