Coelognathus
''Coelognathus'' is a genus of seven rat snakes from South and Southeast Asia that were formerly assigned to the genus ''Elaphe''. Based on morphological evidence and protein similarities, in 2001, Helfenberger revalidated the name ''Coelognathus'' that had originally been proposed by Leopold Fitzinger in 1843. The distinction between ''Coelognathus'' and ''Elaphe'' was further supported by mitochondrial DNA sequence and additional morphological evidence in 2005.

Coelognathus Helena Monticollaris
''Coelognathus helena monticollaris'' is subspecies of nonvenomous constricting snake in the family Colubridae. The subspecies is native to the Western ghats of India. Description ''C. h. monticollaris'' is a narrow-headed slender snake with a beautiful colouration. The light brown body is adorned with black and white transverse stripes, unlike ''C. h. helena'' which has dark brown and white spots. The head is greenish brown with black markings. The true purpose of this colouration is camouflage. Recently, albinism has been reported in this subspecies. Habitat The preferred habitat of ''C. h. monticollaris'' is forests, but it may frequently venture towards human habitation and occasionally enter human dwellings. Behaviour ''C. h. monticollaris'' is diurnal and highly active. It has a very nasty temper and will strike repeatedly if molested. It never appreciates captivity and will resist capture with utmost tenacity until helplessly overpowered. Its bites are often very dama ...

Coelognathus Helena
The common trinket snake (''Coelognathus helena'') is a nonvenomous constrictor species of colubrid snake native to south Central Asia. Etymology The specific name of this snake, ''helena'', is thought to be a reference to Helen of Troy, considered by many to be the epitome of female beauty and the most beautiful woman in the world.Beolens, Bo; Watkins, Michael; Grayson, Michael (2011). ''The Eponym Dictionary of Reptiles''. Baltimore: Johns Hopkins University Press. xiii + 296 pp. . (''Elaphe helena'', p. 120). Geographic range ''C. helena'' is found in Sri Lanka, southern India, Pakistan (Shangla), Nepal, and Bangladesh. Its type locality is "India: Vishakhapatnam" (Daudin, 1803). Description :''See snake scales'' for terms used.'' ''C. helena'' has the following scalation. The rostral is a little broader than deep, and visible from above. The suture between the internasals is much shorter than that between the prefrontals. The frontal is as long as its distance from the e ...

Rat Snakes
Rat snakes are members – along with kingsnakes, milk snakes, vine snakes and indigo snakes – of the subfamily Colubrinae of the family Colubridae. They are medium to large constrictors and are found throughout much of the Northern Hemisphere. They feed primarily on rodents. Many species make attractive and docile pets and one, the corn snake, is one of the most popular reptile pets in the world. As with all snakes, they can be defensive when approached too closely, handled, or restrained. However, rat snake bites are not dangerous to humans. Like nearly all colubrids, rat snakes pose no threat to humans. Rat snakes were long believed to be completely nonvenomous, but recent studies have shown that some Old World species do possess small amounts of venom, though the amount is negligible relative to humans. Previously, most rat snakes were assigned to the genus ''Elaphe'', but many have been since renamed following mitochondrial DNA analysis performed in 2002. For the pu ...

Elaphe
''Elaphe'' is a genus of snakes in the family Colubridae. ''Elaphe'' is one of the main genera of the rat snakes, which are found in many regions of the northern hemisphere. ''Elaphe'' species are medium to large constrictors by nature. Although all of the species in ''Elaphe'' are nonvenomous, bites from rat snakes are still irritably painful and can potentially cause bacterial infections, especially due to the saliva."Rat snakes – lifecycle, predation, diet, bites, hibernation, pictures and videos."

Based on the analysis results, many species of ''Elaphe'' have been moved to the genera ''
