Diet

Appearance

Its scale-covered body ranges from bright to pale green, often displaying a hint of gold or blue. The belly is pale yellow. This snake is notable for its ability to change the color intensity according to its mood or surroundings. There are no discernible differences in appearance due to age, gender, or subspecies.
Behavior
Asian vine snake is a diurnal, arboreal species, adept at camouflaging within tree vegetation. Its cryptic behavior aids in ambushing prey and avoiding predators. This serpent is solitary by nature, except during breeding seasons. An interesting hallmark of asian vine snake's behavior is its 'staring' threat display, wherein it enlarges its body and maintains eye contact with perceived threats. It is non-migratory, marking and defending its territory mainly via scent trails.
