waiting for the answer then the answer is yes.... it is true that snakes could fly these are known as flying snakes. snakes devote their whole life to this fight among all animal species only snakes have the ability to survive land at sea and even fly in the air. They fly from tree to tree why well probably because in Indonesia it's the quickest most efficient way to get from here to there...many snakes are able to use their belly scales to push against tree bark allowing them to undulate upwards. the snake flattens its body into a ribbon shape launches itself and then swims through the air actually since the snake can't fly upward it might better be called a parachuting snake.
If we talk about it in detail then tree flying snakes adapted to life in the crowns of trees, they have a relatively thin body reaching links from 23 inches to 5 feet. they crawl quickly and deftly not only along branches but also along vertical surfaces. they have more than 400 ribs and they move wherever. they want high above the ground. the color of these snakes is bright and colorful masking them among the leaves branches vines lichens and flowers., lit by the sun's rays but tree snakes attract attention not only in appearance. but also for their amazing ability to so-called fly, it is very difficult for snakes that live in trees to transfer their body from branch to branch from tree to tree especially if the distances between them are large. therefore they prefer to descend from trees from a height of 50 to 60 feet, flying through the air... so how does a snake manage to fly? this is also known as a paradise tree snake... the most common flying snake whose length reaches 4 feet. They inhabit the rainforests belonging to the family of Colubrid II and are not poisonous... paradise tree snakes leap into the air using its body as spring. it slides to the end of the branch hangs in the shape of the letter J, and swings with the help of the lower body then having pushed off part of the tail it rushes into the air and stretches out smoothly planning to land on a branch on another tree located below during its flight. the round body of a flying snake becomes very flat like a cobra inflating its hood. this snake spreads out its ribs stretches the skin and presses its back to the stomach turning into a flat ribbon. this new shape helps the snake which has gained inertia in the jump to reflect the air flows from the sides and from below which creates a lift similar to the wing of an airplane, the body becomes an aerodynamic surface to decrease its speed they bend its body in the form of the letter S swimming in the air. the snake makes wave-like movements as if in water and holds it still strictly upward spinning it from side to side for balance technically, these snakes are more so gliding since they are using the speed of free fall from a tree in the contraction of the muscles of the body to catch ascending air currents but the paradise tree snake is not only capable of planning a flight, they can still change direction in the air when they notice an unexpected obstacle with a body about three feet long, it can fly through the air up to 300 feet when the snake lands on a branch it forms a hook to grab on to the tree while landing they rush into the depths of the branches. the amazing ability of the snake to plan while in the air helps them survive easily move from tree to tree escape from predators as well as hunt for prey the flight of snakes is a very exciting sight and the beauty of their shape grace and attractiveness of movements fascinate observers deep in the hot humid.
So I hope you have got the answer but if we say that snakes could fly in the air like birds so this is wrong or like if I just thought about my childhood imagination then what I used to think that there are snakes who consist of beautiful little wings and also could fly in air...huh... looks like crazy now...
