'''Chata''' ni [[nyoka]] wasio na [[sumu]] wa [[jenasi]] ''[[Boaedon]]'' na ''[[Lamprophis]]'' katika [[familia (biolojia)|familia]] [[Lamprophiidae]].

Nyoka hawa ni warefu kiasi, [[sm]] 150 kwa kipeo lakini kwa wastani majike ni sm 60-100 na madume sm 40-70. Wana [[mkia]] mrefu kiasi, [[kichwa]] kwa umbo wa [[pembetatu]] na [[mboni]] za wima. Rangi yao ni [[kahawia]], kahawianyekundu, [[kijivu]] au [[nyeusi]]. Kuna milia miwili myeupe pande mbili za kichwa na milia hii inaweza kuendelea mpaka mkia.

Chata hupumzika mchana katika vishimo au chini ya [[mwamba|miamba]], [[gogo (mti)|magogo]] au takataka. Huwinda usiku na hukamata [[panya]] hasa lakini [[ndege (mnyama)|ndege]], [[mjusi|mijusi]] na [[chura|vyura]] pia. Waama, nyoka hawa ni muhimu sana kwa sababu wanasaidia watu kwa kuwaua [[mgugunaji|wagugunaji]] wengi.

Nyoka hawa hawana sumu lakini spishi kadhaa hung'ata na kusababisha [[kidonda|vidonda]]. Kwa kawaida huwa [[mnyama-kipenzi|wanyama-vipenzi]] katika muda mfupi.
