I don't think snakes actually fly but I think they just glide as they don't have all the necessary equipments to sustain them all through and its not like they can take flight from ground to air.

The snake is not really flying because It doesn't have wings to give it lift. Instead, it glides through the air.

It climbs up to a high elevation on a tree, springs itself, and jumps.
While in the air, it flattens the sides of its body to reduce drag and create lift which helps it cover a long distance as it falls.

The flying squirrel is the master of this concept.
the flying squirrel well kinda glide

Lemme add to this

Once it jumps from the tree,it's gliding can only descend, it can't ascend - that's not flying

Correct! Also because they are super-intelligent, and don't go around biting humans, unless you provoke it too much. King Cobras are technically our friends.

It's not a form of flying. Gliding is just that- gliding. If not there wouldnt have been a term for it.�
And you don't know flying is a general term and there are different forms to it?

I think it's high time we create created a section for snakes related topics.

I've seen plenty of trends on this forum from wayback 2007 when I used to visit here as a visitor, never has a trend lasted this long like the snake trend... The traffic it gives this site should be massive.
Nowadays, we unconsciously click on snake related topics hoisted on Frontpage.
