Its members are known for their highly iridescent scales. Currently, two species are recognized and no subspecies. Adults can grow up to 1.3 m (51 in) in length. The head scales are made up of large plates much like those of the Colubridae, while the ventral scales are only slightly reduced. Pelvic vestiges are not present. The dorsal color pattern is a reddish brown, brown, or blackish color. The belly is an unpatterned whitish-gray. The scales are highly iridescent, creating a beautiful display of colors in the light.
