Chrysopelea


Chrysopelea is a snake that can fly and is a genus that belongs to the family of the Colubridae snakes. Flying snakes are not so venomous and toxic so they are not so dangerous for humans. They are located in South East Asia. It is said that they fly but actually they glide in the air by using its ridge scales along its belly and then they push themselves against rough bark surface of tree trunks, allowing them to move vertically up a tree and then it throws itself making a J shape making serpentines.They feed themselves with frogs, bats and lizards.

And if you ever want to go to South East Asia watch your heads because there is a possibility they will hang on around your neck
