What is a flying snake?
A flying snake is a reptile that is able to parachute or glide through the air, creating the appearance of flight even though it does not have wings. They sometimes are referred to as parachuters or gliders because they are not able to ascend into the air, but rather they propel themselves from a starting point that is higher than the point at which they want to land, flattening their body to glide or parachute to their destination. The flying snake is seen almost exclusively in trees in the lowlands of the tropical rainforest in southeastern and southern Asia.
