Snake in a Tree

High up in the leaves, this long snake drapes and loops itself over a tree branch, its body hanging down in gentle curves. A few large leaves frame the scene, and the snake lifts its head with a curious expression and a flicking tongue. The mix of a flowing snake and a leafy branch gives colorers plenty to do, from the smooth body to the broad leaves, making it a relaxing page for kids of many ages. Many snakes are excellent climbers and spend time in trees, where they hunt for birds and eggs and hide among the green leaves. Some, like tree pythons and vine snakes, live there almost all the time. Coloring this page is a nice way to picture where snakes really live. Print it on US Letter or A4 paper and fill the scene with leafy greens and your favorite shade for the curious climber.
