The boomslang is a medium-sized snake that can grow up to two meters in length at its largest. They are relatively slim, although not as slim as some of the other snakes that live in trees. Due to their notably wide eyes, which have both binocular and color vision, they have an almost comical appearance in the youngster.

They differ from other snakes like the mambas, which have non-keeled or smooth scales, in that they have rough scales with a prominent ridge down the middle of each scale, commonly known as keels. Boomslangs, which are typically assumed to be green, exhibit significant color variances depending on area, gender, and age group.

Typically, the young have a drab gray or brown underside and a darker top. They can have spots of different colors around the body, sometimes with a startlingly blueish tint, and can be pink, yellow, or orange on the throat.

Adults can be just as beautiful, although they differ greatly from juveniles in appearance. Male boomslangs might be bright green in some places or black on top and bright yellow underneath in others. Female boomslangs are usually a shade of brown or even red and are less colorful than male counterparts.
