Which mildly venomous snake, also called the paradise tree snake, can glide between trees?

The mildly venomous snake also called the paradise tree snake is the paradise flying snake.

Paradise flying snake is the common name for Chrysopelea paradisi, an arboreal colubrid found in Southeast Asia. It is mildly venomous and rear-fanged, but it is not generally regarded as dangerous to humans. Its diet includes small animals such as lizards and bats, which it can subdue with venom and constriction.

Despite its name, the snake does not truly fly with wings. It launches from branches, spreads its ribs to flatten and widen its body, and uses an undulating motion to control its glide. This unusual shape turns its long body into an effective aerodynamic surface.

A paradise flying snake can glide between trees and cover about 10 metres or more from a high perch. “Paradise tree snake” and “garden flying snake” are alternate common names, so quizzes may use any of the three labels. Emerald tree boas and green tree pythons are arboreal constrictors, but they are not flying snakes.
