Golden tree snake
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

Paano ito makikilala
- 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
Madalas mapagkamalang: 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

Mga fact
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
Myth buster
Mito: Many locals assume that all snakes are venomous and kill them on sight.
Totoo: The golden tree snake is only mildly venomous and is not considered dangerous to humans.1
