The Rufous Beaked Snake (Rhamphiophis oxyrhynchus) is a species of colubrid from West Africa. It is named for its hooked snout, which it uses to dig burrows, and reddish-brown back scales. It hunts small animals during the day with the help of its venomous bite. There are two subspecies, R.o. oxyrhynchus (Reinhardt 1843) and R.o. rostratus (Peters 1854).
