Top 10 Snakes with the biggest eyes in the world

There are more than 3,000 different species of snakes in the world. They are legless reptiles with extremely strong bodies. In this article, Toplist will explore some of the snakes with the biggest eyes in the world. Despite possessing large and well-developed eyes, these snakes seem unable to blink.

1. Rhamnophis Aethiopissa

The scientific name of the tree viper is Rhamnophis aethiopissa. They are venomous species in the Colubridae family endemic to Africa. Snakes are green, but they can also be black and sometimes blue.


Their neck and belly are pale yellow. This snake's eyes are also larger than the eyes of most snakes of this size. Because very little is known about these snakes and they are poisonous, exploring them must be done with extreme caution. This species has a defense technique similar to the boomslang snake, inflating its throat to appear larger.
