Chrysopelea taprobanica, the Sri Lankan flying snake[3][4][5] or Indian flying snake,[2] is a species of gliding colubrid snake distributed in India and Sri Lanka.[1][2][6] 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.
