Well I thought I had seen it all...

It might just be me but Ive never heard of this, a gliding snake "Chrysopelea paradisi" wiki

Its quite incredible to see it glide past the camera! really cool.

Great adaption Trippy,

Is Trippy a flying snake, cos I have seen them on documentaries or is this simply some kind of instinctive behaviour that a snake that falls from a slippery branch does to survive?

Oh hell..... They evolved.

Now we'll be seeing sharks on land.

We have to do something about these animals breaching contracts!

Can you imagine genetically engineering these things for more venom, and then doing a low airdrop behind enemy lines?

Especially if your enemy was superstitious. Yikes!
