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

Jinsi ya kumtambua

  • 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

Mara nyingi huchanganywa na: 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

Nguvu ya sumu

Kuumwa

Sumu hutoka kupitia meno yake ya sumu au meno anapouma.

Sumu yake hufanya nini?

It is mildly venomous. Its two small fangs are at the back of the upper jaw, so it must chew to get venom into prey. The venom is meant to subdue fast-moving tree-living animals and is not considered dangerous to humans.1

Ana hatari gani kwa watu?

Hatari kwa watu: HafifuKama kudungwa na nyuki au chini ya hapo. Kimsingi hana madhara kwa watu.

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

Hufanya nini akiogopa?

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

Akiuma

  • Osha jeraha, mweke mtu mtulivu na utafute msaada wa kitabibu. Baadhi ya spishi (kama boomslang) zinaweza kuua saa kadhaa baadaye.

Daima piga namba ya dharura kwanza (112, 000, 911). Huu ni mwongozo wa jumla wa huduma ya kwanza, si ushauri wa kitabibu. Misingi ya huduma ya kwanza

Kaa salama

  • Kamwe usimguse, kumkamata wala kumchokoza mnyama wa porini, hata akiwa mdogo, na hata akionekana amelala au amekufa.
  • Mpe nafasi. Ukikutana naye, tulia, rudi nyuma polepole na umwache aende zake.
  • Akikuuma: tulia, usitikisike, piga namba yako ya dharura (112, 000, 911) au nenda hospitali haraka. Kumbuka alivyoonekana, picha husaidia.

Hakuwindi wewe. Hutumia sumu yake kukamata chakula au kujilinda, na hupendelea zaidi kujificha. Zaidi kuhusu kukaa salama

Ukweli

1

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

2

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

3

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

4

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

5

It is sometimes cooked for food.1

Kuvunja dhana potofu

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

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