Chrysopelea

Chrysopelea, also known as Flying Snake is one of the venomous snake but it's venom is considered quite mild and is only lethal to small animals such as lizards, frogs and bats. They can be found around South East Asia, Southernmost China, India and Sri Lanka. They come in wide variety of colors, depending on their species type. They are rather small in size as the smallest is around 2 feet.

Chrysopelea gliding through the air

Just like its' name implied; they are capable of flying, or rather just gliding which makes this snake more recognizable. It would climb up the tree, reach for a branch and leans down towards the direction that it wants to glide. It will then propel itself by thrusting itself away from the branch while making continual serpentine motion which is similar motion when on ground.
