Paradise flying tree snake

Description:

This snake is about 50 cm long , Im sure its young and cannot master its craft of gliding yet. It falls down beside my father while tending our garden, that's why he picked it up and we took a picture. A philippine coin and a measuring tape was place beside it to give an idea of its size. We are cautious it must be venomous at first so my father wore a glove, but I found out on a research later that its harmless. I cannot determine the exact scientific name as it differs in appearance or pattern with other Chrysopelea species Ive seen in the web.

Habitat:

we learned that its arboreal and feeds on insects and smaller lizards and frogs.

Notes:

This specimen was released after we take its picture.
