Acrochordus javanicus, a snake from the Acrochordidae family is commonly known as the elephant trunk snake or ular belalai gajah in Malay and gets its name from its rough, baggy, loose skin and bulky shape. Measuring around 90 - 240cm long, this snake species is non-venomous and is an underwater snake that very rarely exits the water. The elephant trunk snake usually lives in slow-moving water either fresh or brackish, including estuaries, peat swamps, rice paddies, and freshwater rivers and canals. This snake is an ambush predator feeding on eels, fishes, and other aquatic animals including frogs. The females are bigger than the males and can produce litters of 18-48 youngs of up to 29cm length.
