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.

What do animals use as parachutes?

Animals use various adaptations as parachutes to aid in gliding and slowing their descent. For example, flying squirrels have a membrane called the patagium that stretches from their wrists to ankles, allowing them to glide between trees. Other animals, like certain frogs and snakes, have skin flaps or elongated bodies that help them glide through the air. These adaptations enhance their ability to navigate their environment and escape predators.
