Duberria lutrix, or the common slug eater, is a small, ovoviviparous,[4] molluscivorous, non-venomous snake, which is endemic to Africa.

[5] The common slug eater's colour can vary, but they typically have an olive green to brown or russet back, grey flanks, a yellowish or cream belly, and a black, more or less complete, vertebral stripe.

This species is found in Burundi, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Eswatini, Ethiopia, Kenya, Mozambique, Rwanda, South Africa, Tanzania, Uganda, and Zimbabwe.

[7] The common slug eater usually gives birth to litters of three to twelve young.

[10] The snake is a popular pet, which feeds and breeds readily, and because of the nature of its prey item, it is easy to keep.
