Maybe many people don’t know much about the snake race like the tree snake. When I first saw this snake, I was also surprised! After all, after living in Guizhou for so many years, this is the first time I have seen this snake in Guizhou. Because I have been to Yunnan for two years, the editor likes snakes, so I have a general understanding of some snake tribes in Yunnan. This tree snake can almost be regarded as a relatively rare snake. In my country's record, there are only four provinces, namely Yunnan, Guangdong, Hainan, and Guangxi.
When the editor first saw this snake, he also belonged to the snake species of , genus . After all, its head is not very different from the snake species of genus , genus 4 in my country. Later, I asked some people and checked some information to find out that this snake belongs to the tree snake species and the tree-dwelling snake species. They spend 80% of their lives on trees, which is non-toxic.
Overtree snakes This is a large population. It does not mean that they belong to a certain type of snake species, but generally refers to more snakes living on trees than on the ground.
Because the snakes pass through the tree often live on the tree, their body color is similar to the stems of a vine, so they are also called vine snake . Most of their names are related to their own skin tone, and they are named after the most conspicuous part of their skin tone.
Overtree snakes have almost all very slender bodies. Their tails can occupy almost one-third of the entire body, with a larger head, almost three times the neck, and their bodies are slightly flat. This flat state is conducive to the increase in friction area when hung on trees, making them more labor-saving when hung on trees. Their neck, torso and tail are relatively slender. Because they have lived on trees for a long time, they are almost all special places, that is, they are particularly entangled. The color of the body hanging on trees is almost the same as the color of forest vegetation, so natural enemies rarely find their presence, which also lays the foundation for their population reproduction.
To be honest, the snakes that pass by the tree belong to the relatively beautiful type, and the scales on their bodies are almost all bright in color. Their food is basically lizards and frogs, among which tree frogs and occupies most of their food. Their maximum body length is 1400 mm, which is 1.4 meters, so their body size is not very large. Moreover, because of their long tail and slender figure, their stomachs are relatively small and they don’t need much food every day.
Their backs are smooth and their sides are lined obliquely. The skin between the scale grooves is sky blue, and the upper and lower lip edges are light yellow and bronze. Big eyes and concave cheeks. The nape of the neck is dark, and the side of the neck is blue and gray. The head and abdomen and ventral sides are light brown, with lateral edges on the ventral surface, and the color between the edges is light.
Their habitat environment is basically a paradise compared to the past. Because our country protects mountains and forests, their living space is increasing and the number of races is also increasing. Therefore, the living area recorded in the past is incomplete in correspondence with the current living space. The only areas where tree snakes existed in the past are: Guangdong, Guangxi, Hainan, Yunnan, Hong Kong is distributed in the following protected areas: Nanling, Diaoluo Mountain, Jianfengling, Jianfengling, Bawangling (Changjiang, Baisha ) Dawei Mountain, Jinping Divide, Tongbi Pass, distributed in the following mountain lakes: Diaoluo Mountain, .
Now, it has been photographed in the Xiaoqikong Scenic Area of Qiannan in Guizhou, so the editor suggests that experts in this field should update their information in real time, so that they can more advantageously understand and protect them.
