Philodryas baroni, common name Baron's green racer,[2] is a species of rear-fanged venomous snake in the family Colubridae.

The Latin specific name, baroni, honors Manuel Barón Morlat, who collected the first specimens.

The ventral area under the black lateral lines can be white or yellowish-white, sometimes with shades of green or blue.

[7][citation needed] Cannibalism of immature individuals by larger members of the species has also been reported.

A recent characterization of the venom of this species has shown that it has proteolytic activity, being able to inhibit platelet aggregation induced by collagen and thrombin formation.
