Habitat:
Arboreal snake, found in rainforests from Equatorial Africa.
Notes:
At some point, while we lived in Kinshasa, my younger son became very interested in learning about African snakes (well, he still loves the subject but expanded it on all snakes...). My wife, of course, wasn't really too keen to trying to look for these beautiful animals in nature... So, as a sort of compromise, I found a great place with great team in Kinshasa to learn from them. And it was really a great experience; we , my son and I, learned a lot in a dozen of visits. So if you are around Kinshasa, the place is called "Le Jardin de Serpents" and their FB page is https://www.facebook.com/Les-Serpents-du-Congo, for amateurs...
