The boomslang is oviparous, and an adult female can produce up to 30 eggs, which are deposited in a hollow tree trunk or rotting log. The eggs have a relatively long (3 months on average) incubation period. Male hatchlings are grey with blue speckles, and female hatchlings are pale brown. They attain their adult colouration after several years.
Courtship and mating take place in trees, after which the female can lay 4–17 eggs (10–15 on average), occurring in October and November. [22] The eggs are small and elongated, usually 47–58 x 25–28 mm, [16] [17] and usually laid in leaf litter in hollow trees. [17] The incubation period is around three months. [18]

When living near water, they eat other aquatic animals.
