[TheDude]

A guy I know said he knew of someone trying to sell a Chinese flying boa. I did a search on google and came up with squat, I don't think there is such a thing.

Have you ever heard of one of these?????

Never have heard of a CFB... BUT there is such a snake that is called the flying tree snake.

Flying snakes are a small group of species of tree snakes that live in South and Southeast Asia. At rest they appear unremarkable, but on the move they're able to take to the air by jumping from the tree, flattening the entire body, and gliding or parachuting to the ground or another tree.

This snake sounds truly awesome, that's all I have to say. It's like the type of snake that someone would write a metal song about.

Thats the problem with common names. Different people from different areas call the same species different names.
lol
Did that make any sense?

The Flying Tree Snakes from South Asia are rearfanged so be careful with them... They like other tree snakes are very aggressive... Although it is my understanding that the venom is not very harmful to humans unless you are allergic... There arent many in captivity, they usually don't do very well... So maybe this isn't what it is at all... See if you can get him to send you a picture and post it then maybe we can tell you exactly what it is...
