Description: C. paradisi lateral posture

Additional comments: This snake took off from a relatively low height and is parachuting. The interesting thing to note here is the orientation of the body - the head is angled down, the anterior (front) body is about level with the ground, and the posterior (rear) body is slightly lower than the anterior.
