Paradise Tree Snake (Chrysopelea paradisi)

The Paradise Tree Snake is one of the world's most remarkable snake species. It is famous for its ability to glide between trees by flattening its body into an aerodynamic shape while moving through the air.

This highly arboreal species requires a tall enclosure with plenty of climbing opportunities and vegetation. Its striking colouration and unusual behaviour make it a fascinating species for experienced reptile keepers.
