Also known as the Flying Snake because of its ability to flatten its body & glide like a flying squirrel (though not as efficiently). The scientific name for this animal is Chrysopelea ornata.

Absolutely not to be nit-picky but "Paradise tree snake" usually refers to Chrysopelea paradisii and not Chrysopelea ornata (Golden tree snake, ornate flying snake, etc.).
If you need information, check out Jake Socha's site at http://www.flyingsnake.org
