The green vine snake is a slender, bright green snake that lives high in the trees of Central and northern South America. It hunts small animals from the branches, and it is rear-fanged, which means its venom is delivered from the back of the mouth.1

It is almost entirely tree-dwelling. It stays high above the ground on tree branches and in brush, where it moves quickly.1

It waits high in trees for small animals such as rodents, lizards, frogs and birds. It follows the prey, checks its smell with its tongue, then bites the head or back of the neck and lifts the animal 20–40 cm off the ground.1

Its saliva is toxic, and it works quickly on small animals, so they are stopped from fighting back. It has little to no effect on humans. In the rare reported bites, slight tingling or temporary numbness at the bite site has been reported.1

Bites to people are rare, because the snake has to grab hold and chew its saliva into the skin, which most people will not allow. Serious allergic reactions are possible, as with any venomous animal, and most allergies are not known before a bite.1

Xibaar

1

Its tongue is thought to work like a cat's whiskers, helping it sense its way through branches and brush as it moves quickly.1

2

After biting, it coils around its prey. It does not squeeze the prey the way a constrictor does, but the coil helps to hold it.1

3

It is rear-fanged, with two larger but blunted, peg-like teeth at the upper back of the mouth. These teeth have grooves on the sides that deliver its saliva.1

4

After swallowing a meal, it usually moves to the highest point of a tree to rest.1

5

In captivity it readily takes mice, and some are large enough to eat rats, which makes it a prized choice among reptile collectors.1

Tasukatu léeb

Xalaat bu juum: That the bite of this snake is dangerous to people.

Dëgg: Its venom has little to no effect on humans. It is fast-acting on small animals, but bites to people are rare and usually cause only slight tingling or temporary numbness.1
