sohkamyung, 10 months ago to nature

A Paradise Tree Snake (Chrysopelea paradisi) spotted at Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve, Singapore, on 16 July 2023. It was moving around, hunting for geckos at a shelter in the reserve. It didn't find any, so no feeding shots. 🙂

This snake is known for its ability to glide long distances by launching itself into the air.
