While feeding, colubrids move their jaws backward to create a cutting motion between the posterior edge and the prey's tissue. In order to inject venom, colubridae must chew on their prey. Colubrids can also be proteroglyphous (fangs at the front of the upper jaw, followed by small solid teeth) 105: 405:
Characteristics of Colubridae include limbless bodies, left lung that is reduced or absent, tracheal lung that is reduced or absent, well-developed oviducts, Premaxillaries that lack teeth, maxilaries oriented longitudinally with teeth that are solid or grooved, mandible does not have coronoid bone,

Most Colubridae are oviparious (mode of reproduction where an egg is produced that will later hatch) with clutch size varying by size and species of snake. However, certain species of snakes from the subfamilies of Natriciinae and Colubrinae are viviparous (mode of reproduction where young are live

Colubrids are a very diverse group of snakes. They can exhibit many different body styles, body sizes, colors, and patterns. They can also live in many different types of habitats including aquatic, terrestrial, semi-arboreal, arboreal, desert, mountainous forests, semi-fossorial, and brackish

These taxa have been at one time or another classified as part of the Colubridae, but are now either classified as parts of other families, or are no longer accepted because all the species within them have been moved to other (sub)families.
