colubrine (KOL-uh-brain, KOL-uh-brin, KOL-yuh-brain) - adj., of, pertaining to, or resembling a snake; snakelike.


Or sometimes more specifically, the Colubrinae subfamily of snakes, including the king snakes and rat snakes. This is the Latin-derived version of this word (from coluber, snake), with the Greek-derived equivalent being ophidian (from ophis, snake). Another word from coluber is cobra, via Portuguese. Yessssss.
