When this snake is in danger, it adopts a strategy for self-defense. When it sees an enemy, this snake inflates its neck in self-defense and can attack when it shows dark skin between the scales. Although this snake rarely raises its hood, its hoods are set in such a way that it can strike well in front of the mouth. This species of snake is not commonly found in Bangladesh. Because the environment and climate of Bangladesh is not suitable for the snake to live. Boomslang snakes have much stronger venom in their fangs.
