The golden tree snake is a slim, green snake with gold and black markings that lives in trees across South and Southeast Asia. It is famous for its ability to glide from tree to tree, which it does by launching itself into the air and steering with its body. It is mildly venomous, but it is not considered dangerous to people.1

Kako ga prepoznati

Usually green, with black cross-hatching and yellow or gold accents1
Slender body with a flattened head, a blunt nose and large eyes with round pupils1
In Sri Lanka and southern India it is mainly greenish yellow or pale green, often with reddish or orange flower-shaped spots on its back1
In Southeast Asia it lacks the reddish spots and has less prominent black crossbars1
Nervous and fast-moving, it climbs trees and vertical rock faces in graceful curves1

Često se miješa s: The paradise flying snake (C. paradisi) is a close relative that also glides. Its gliding is more impressive than that of the golden tree snake, which is still able to move easily from tree to tree.1

Što radi njegov otrov kad ugrize ili ubode?

Opasnost za ljude: BlagoKao ubod pčele ili slabije. Uglavnom bezopasno za ljude.

It is not considered dangerous to humans and is not of medical importance. It generally does not hesitate to bite if handled.1

Što radi kad se uplaši?

When disturbed it tries to flee, and it can glide away from predators such as birds or other reptiles.1

Ako ugrize

Operi ugriz, smiri osobu i potraži liječničku pomoć. Neke vrste (poput bumslanga) mogu biti smrtonosne satima kasnije.

Uvijek prvo nazovi broj za hitne slučajeve (112, 000, 911). Ovo su opće upute za prvu pomoć, a ne liječnički savjet. Osnove prve pomoći

Ostani na sigurnom

Nikad ne diraj, ne hvataj i ne zadirkuj divlju životinju, čak ni malu, i čak ni ako izgleda kao da spava ili je mrtva.
Ostavi joj prostora. Ako je sretneš, ne paniči, polako se odmakni i pusti je da ode svojim putem.
Ako te neka ugrize: ne paniči, miruj, nazovi broj za hitne slučajeve (112, 000, 911) ili brzo idi u bolnicu. Zapamti kako je izgledala, fotografija pomaže.

Ne želi ti ništa loše. Otrov koristi za lov hrane ili za obranu i mnogo bi se radije sakrilo. Više o sigurnosti

Činjenice

It can glide, or parachute, across distances of as much as 100 m from tree to tree.1

To glide, it curves its belly into a U-shape that acts like a parachute, then undulates through the air like it is swimming.1

It balances in the air by twisting its tail from side to side, with the tail held rigidly upwards.1

Its striking looks and gliding have made it a sought-after choice for captivity, though it often struggles in captivity.1

It is sometimes cooked for food.1

Razbijač mitova

Mit: Many locals assume that all snakes are venomous and kill them on sight.

Istina: The golden tree snake is only mildly venomous and is not considered dangerous to humans.1
