Elaphe est unum ex praecipuis generibus Colubrinarum, quae in multis hemisphaerii septentrionali regionibus reperiuntur. Elaphe sunt a mediis ad magnos constrictores. Omnes species Elaphis sunt non venenosae, sed earum morsus iam sunt molesti, qui inflammationes bacteriales per salivam efficere possunt.^[2] Species huius generis hibernare solent.
