Paradise Flying Snake

A slender, brightly patterned tree snake marked with black, green and orange-red flecking, famous for 'flying' — flattening its body and undulating through the air to glide between trees, one of a handful of snake species capable of this.

Diurnal and arboreal, hunting lizards, small mammals, birds and bats. It has small fangs toward the rear of the upper jaw and mild venom used to subdue prey, but this poses no meaningful danger to humans and it is not considered medically significant.
