Boiga is a large genus of opisthoglyphous (rear-fanged), mildly venomous snakes, known commonly as cat-eyed snakes or simply cat snakes, in the family Colubridae. Species of the genus Boiga are endemic to southeast Asia, India, and Australia, but due to their extremely hardy nature and adaptability, have spread to many other suitable habitats around the world. There are 34 recognized species in the genus. According to the study done by Jiri Smid regarding Old World cat snakes, the ancestor of the cat snake originated in Africa, from where it diversified and expanded to other countries.
