The Indian vine snake or long-nosed vine snake (Ahaetulla oxyrhyncha) is a species of diurnal, mildly venomous, arboreal snake distributed in the lowlands of peninsular India.Often mistakenly believed to peck out peoples' eyes, this misconception has led to widespread wanton killing of this species.

A pair of white lines extend throughout its body length demarcating the back and under belly parts.

Formerly misclassified as A. nasuta, A. oxyrhyncha is actually a much larger-bodied species that also has a much longer snout.

[3] This species is distributed throughout the drier plains and low hilly tracts of Peninsular India, except the Western Ghats rainforest.

This species has been often sighted in and around human habitations in villages and countrysides and even in some city Parks.
