Madagascarophis is a genus of small, mildly venomous snakes native to the island of Madagascar.

Madagascarophis species are small snakes, rarely exceeding 100 cm in adult size.

Malagasy cat-eyed snakes are found in a wide variety of habitats throughout the island of Madagascar, from montane regions to rain forest.

Their venom is mild and often not powerful enough to subdue their chosen prey items, so they also employ constriction as necessary.

Madagascarophis colubrinus and M. ocellatus are frequently imported for the exotic pet trade, and for educational research.
