The black-browed brocade snake is a large non-venomous snake with a total length of about 2 meters. The black-browed brocade snake is also known as the domestic snake, the scale star snake, the cauliflower snake, the yellow-jawed snake, the wolf-skinned snake, the yellow-throated snake, the eel, the yellow longworm, and the broad snake.

The head and body of the black-browed snake are yellow-green or brown-grey; There is an obvious black stripe on the back, and there are black trapezoidal or butterfly-shaped markings on the front and middle of the body, which are slightly similar to scale stars, so it is also called scale star snake; from the middle of the body to the back, the stripes gradually disappear, but there are 4 stripes. A clear black longitudinal band reaches the caudal end, with several central rows of dorsal scales with weak edges.
