Common tree snakes are also known as green tree snakes, or in the top end of Australia as Golden Tree snakes. They also occur
in a black form in North Queensland). They are solid toothed, without any venom apparatus at all, but when stirred up (as this
one was) by a scary herpetologist they will still take on the persona of a very dangerous snake indeed, striking rapidly and
agressively. This snake has flattened its neck vertically to show the blue skin between its scales as part of its threat display,
and is glaring at me from a small paperbark tree where it retreated when disturbed.

Tree snakes have a strong edge to the side of their belly which allows them greater purchase in the trees. They are mainly frog
eaters, but being Colubrids, seem to have some genetic resistance to Cane Toad poison and are fairly still common in some areas where toads occur.
