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.
