Amazing snakes

This non-venomous
snake just likes to relax

The green tree python shares the vibrant
green colour of the emerald tree boa but
there are slight differences in their size and
the shape of the scales on their heads. The
python’s long prehensile tail functions in
a similar way to a monkey’s, allowing the
snake to grip the trees and move around
with ease, although they usually only move
when seeking a different tree to rest in.
