They primarily feed on small rodents, but also eat unguarded eggs, amphibians, and other reptiles. They bite their prey, and coil around it to subdue it, then swallow it whole, starting with the head.

Males and females are similar in size. Antennae are also present in both sexes, but males have longer and wider ones. Female abdomens are larger because of deposited eggs.

Males solicit for female attention, and once they succeed, they mate for life. However, if a female is not interested in a certain male, she will scare him off.
