These are large and heavy-bodied file snakes, with loose flabby skin and conical scales. Sexual dimorphism is extreme: females grow larger than males. Feeds exclusively on fishes, including carrion; feeding frequency low but with unusually high digestive frequency. Exhibits seasonal reproduction with average fecundity, 17 young per litter, correlated with female body size (Ref. 2412). Inhabits rivers and streams, and floodplains and lagoons, e.g., billabongs. Feeds exclusively on fishes, including carrion, e.g., eeltail catfish, Neosilurus hyrtlii, Arius leptaspis, Glossamia aprion, Lates calcarifer, Oxyeleotris lineolata, Melanotaenia maculata, Nematolosa sp., Megalops cyprinoides, Amniataba percoides, Strongylura krefftii (Ref. 2412).
