In the emerald forest kingdom, there are some unique snakes that live exclusively in trees. They are like nature's paintbrushes, showing us endless mystery and beauty. These mysterious snakes form a diverse and vivid ecological community, blooming a unique light of life. First, let's get to know the green snake. The young of these snakes are dazzling with their colorful body colors, like a watercolor painting painted casually. However, as they grow up, most individuals will wear an elegant green coat. The occasional yellow or brown individuals add a bright color to this sea of green. The slender body of the green snake is like a delicate vine, cleverly coiling between branches, showing amazing flexibility. Their pupils are unique, and the horizontal eyes seem to be quietly watching the sky that belongs to them, adding a bit of mystery. The green snake is a rear-fanged venomous snake. Most of these snakes are not very toxic, but are used to assist in controlling and paralyzing prey to facilitate hunting. The forest snake has a big head and big eyes. The juvenile of the green forest snake looks like a reddish-brown branch, which is difficult to see in the dense bushes. When it grows up, the whole body will turn dark green, with only a hint of blue on the chin. The big eyes of the forest snake provide them with excellent night vision, and the slender and powerful body is suitable for wandering freely between branches. Their food is extremely rich, and all kinds of birds, lizards or arboreal small animals are welcome. Except for the breeding season, this kind of snake rarely moves on the ground. Not only the green forest snake, but all forest snakes have a certain mimicry ability, which enables them to blend perfectly with the surrounding environment and avoid the sight of natural enemies. In addition, the forest snake is a very special kind of venomous snake. Although it has a slight poison, its toxicity is far less dangerous and deadly than that of pit vipers or cobras. Their toxins are mainly used to quickly capture and hunt small animals. Because they live in trees, it is easy for food to struggle and escape, so toxins are very important and become a great help for their survival. The golden flower snake is also a large arboreal snake and a venomous snake with a posterior groove. Their most famous feature is their ability to jump from a high place and glide a short distance in the air. In fact, they use the swing of their body muscles to control the glide direction. This unique gliding behavior, although not true flight, demonstrates their excellent gliding ability in the air. Finally, we will introduce the tree snake, a species of tree-dwelling snake known for its amazing speed and agility, like a flash of lightning, extremely fast. The scales of the tree snake have a faint metallic luster, and the surface texture of their scales is unique, which can avoid wear and tear when climbing trees. The colorful skin can be seen between the scales, flashing with the breath, which is extremely gorgeous. Although its body looks slender, it is extremely agile and has strong muscles, which can move freely between the tree canopies. The tree snake uses strangulation to assist in catching prey, and is a true forest hunter. These tree-dwelling snakes are not only important members of the forest ecosystem, but also add infinite mystery and excitement to this green world. They are like hermits in the forest kingdom, silently guarding this land among the branches and leaves.
