Snakes in the genus Chrysopelea are gliding animals. No other snakes can glide.
These snakes are often called 'flying snakes', but of course, they do not actually fly. They can glide for amazing distances. This is accomplished by their flattening their long ribs to turn themselves into (essentially) a very long wing, and then undulating through the air as though swimming.

∙ 14y agoA glider is a species of small possum, native to Australia. As its name suggests, it is capable of gliding through the air. It is not a squirrel, as squirrels are placental mammals and gliders are marsupials.
Gliders glide by means of skin membranes. They have a membrane of skin which stretches from their wrists to their ankles, which enables them to glide between treetops. They do not fly but, depending upon the species are capable of gliding between 50m and 80m. They must always launch out from higher points such as treetops or power poles.
