She has been on display on the Borneo level of the rainforest since March 5th. These are normally very shy snakes but she is settling in nicely.

Flying snakes can move from tree to tree by launching themselves from branches, flattening their bodies using hinges along their ventral scales and gliding to the next tree.

Ooo, pretty! Would love to see some video of its flying “technique”.
