The paradise tree snake is a snake that can glide through the air. It lives in forests in Southeast Asia, where it flattens its body and launches itself from treetops to travel between trees. It is special because it has no legs or wings, yet it can move through the air in a controlled way.1

Chefo ya yona (eo e e kenyang ka ho loma kapa ho hlaba) e etsang?

It is mildly venomous and has enlarged teeth at the back of the upper jaw, known as rear fangs. Its venom is made in Duvernoy's glands, which are found in many related snakes. The venom is delivered by these rear fangs during a bite.1

E kotsi hakae ho batho?

Kotsi ho batho: E bobebeJwaloka ho hlajwa ke notshi kapa ho fetang moo. Ha e na kotsi ho batho.

It is considered mildly venomous. Because it is uncommon and lives high in trees, bites to people are rare. One reported bite in 2013 was to a 45-year-old woman's right thumb when she tried to close her bedroom windows.1

Dintlha

1

It can glide a horizontal distance of 10 metres (33 feet) or more from the top of a tree.1

2

To glide, it flattens its body into a strip by spreading its ribs.1

3

In the air, its cross-section becomes triangular, which helps it glide.1

4

Slow-motion photography shows it moves its body in waves during flight, suggesting controlled flight.1

5

It usually starts a glide with an anchored J-loop take-off.1
