Paradise Flying Snake

The Paradise Flying Snake or paradise tree snake (Chrysopelea paradisi) is a species of snake found in southeastern Asia. Like all other members of the genus Chrysopelea. It can glide from a tree's top over a horizontal distance of at least 10 meters and is most commonly found in damp woodlands. The snake's body is captured in slow motion undulating while its head is relatively still, indicating controlled flight. They can constrict their food, which is mainly bats and lizards, and have mildly poisonous rear fangs.


The paradise flying snake, which flattens its body to make itself lighter and more aerodynamic, is a truly amazing sight, not just because of this, but also because of its stunning, vibrant color. The Chrysopelea genus of flying snakes contains a number of distinct species, but the paradise tree species is by far the most attractive. Its scale patterning differs from individual to individual. However, this snake usually appears speckled, with bands of alternating green, orange, yellow, and red colors. Along with the tiny spots, the snake's head generally includes horizontal striping.
