Toxicodryas Hallowell 1857

Nyoka-miti kichwa-kipana ni nyoka wa jenasi Toxicodryas katika familia Colubridae. Amepewa jina hili kwa sababu hukaa mitini takriban masaa yote na kichwa ni kipana kuliko nyoka-miti wengine.

Nyoka hawa ni warefu, hadi m 2.8 lakini m 1-2 kwa kawaida. Rangi yao ni nyeusi, kijivu au kahawia juu na njano au pinki chini.

Kama jina lao linadokeza huishi mitini ambapo hukamata vyura, mijusi, vinyonga, ndege, mayai ya ndege, wagugunaji wa miti na popo.

Chonge ni meno ya nyuma. Sumu yao inaweza kuwa na hatari kwa watu lakini mifano ya shida kubwa haijulikani. Hata hivyo inaambilika kuzuia kung'atwa na nyoka hawa.
