The Sri Lankan flying snake (''Chrysopelea taprobanica'') is a species of gliding snake distributed in India and Sri Lanka. It can glide, as with all species of its genus ''Chrysopelea'', by stretching the body into a flattened strip using its ribs. The snake is known as "dangara dandaa - දඟරදන්ඩා" in Sinhala, due to its folding postures. ==Description== Medium sized snake. Head depressed. Eyes are large with round pupils. Ventrals with keels laterally. Vertebral scales are not enlarged. Dorsal scales are smooth or feebly keeled. Dorsal side is greenish yellow or pale green. Orange to red spots can be seen between dark cross bands. Head is black dorsally with yellow and black cross bars.
