Ptyas luzonensis is endemic to the Philippine islands of Luzon, Pollilo, Catanduanes, Leyte, Panay, and Negros.

Ptyas is a genus of colubrid snakes. [1] This genus is one of several colubrid genera colloquially called "rat snakes" or "ratsnakes".. The generic name derives from Ancient Greek πτυάς, meaning "spitter", which referred to a kind of snake believed to spit venom in the eyes of humans, although in reality none of the Ptyas are known to spit venom.
