Colubridae
Also known as Colubrids, colubrid snake
Colubridae (, commonly known as colubrids , from , 'snake') is a family of snakes. With 249 genera, it is the largest snake family. The earliest fossil species of the family date back to the Late Eocene epoch, with earlier origins suspected. Colubrid snakes are found on every continent except Antarctica.

游蛇科（學名：Colubridae），又稱黃頷蛇科，是爬蟲綱有鱗目蛇亞目下的一個蛇科，是眾多蛇科中擁有最多物種的一個科，數量幾乎佔據世上過半的總蛇種。游蛇科下的蛇類特性較為普通，亦較為常見。 大部分游蛇科下的蛇種都是無毒的（又或者含有輕量而且對人體不構成傷害的毒素），因此對人類的威脅普遍不大。不過游蛇科當中仍然有一些蛇種帶有強烈毒素（如非洲樹蛇等），可是牠們用以注射毒素的毒牙位處於口腔的較後位置。 其實生物分類學上所謂的「游蛇科」並不是一個自然的分類，比起同科下的其它蛇種，有些蛇反而跟其它蛇科下的蛇（如眼鏡蛇）更為親近。之所以會設立「游蛇科」，最主要是要將一些未能立即作出仔細分類的蛇種集中收容，再留待詳細的生物觀察及DNA測試研究為這個科下的蛇找出一個更實際的科屬。 查 论 编 蛇亞目 • 蛇類列表 脊索動物門 • 爬蟲綱 • 有鱗目 真蛇下目 瘰鱗蛇科 • 筒蛇科 • 倭管蛇科 • 穴蝰科 • 蚺科 • 島蚺科 • 游蛇科 • 管蛇科眼鏡蛇科 • 美洲閃鱗蛇科 • 蟒科 • 林蚺科 • 盾尾蛇科 • 蝰蛇科 • 閃鱗蛇科 盲蛇下目 異盾盲蛇科 • 細盲蛇科 • 盲蛇科 这是一篇與蛇類相關的小作品。你可以通过编辑或修订扩充其内容。 查 论 编 取自“https://zh.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=游蛇科&oldid=48617363” 分类： 蛇亚目 游蛇科 隐藏分类： 物种微格式条目 全部小作品 蛇類小作品

==Description== Colubrids are a very diverse group of snakes. They can exhibit many different body styles, body sizes, colours, and patterns. They can also live in many different types of habitats including aquatic, terrestrial, semi-arboreal, arboreal, desert, mountainous forests, semi-fossorial, and brackish waters. A primarily shy and harmless group of snakes, the vast majority of colubrids are not venomous, nor do most colubrids produce venom that is medically impactful to mammals. However, the bites of some can escalate quickly to emergency situations. Furthermore, within the Colubridae, the South African boomslang and twig snakes, as well as the Asian keelback snakes (Rhabdophis sp.) have long been notorious for inflicting the worst bites on humans, with the most confirmed fatalities.
