We just learned about the striped house snake.
Another type of snake is called the green vine snake, or the Ahaetulla nasuta.
It is a skinny green tree snake that lives in Asia.
This snake has venom but it's bite will only make your skin swell up for a few days, like a bee sting.
It mostly just eats frogs and lizards.

When it gets scared it puffs up it's body and you can see a black and white skin underneath it's scales.

There was a legend long ago that if one of these snakes looked at you, it's eyes would make you blind.
