Acid Spit (Ex): Once per round, a flying fang can spit acid as a ranged touch attack. The acid spit deals 1 hit point of acid damage but is insufficient to count as a grenadelike weapon. A flying fang that bites an opponent automatically deals an additional 1 point of damage from acid.

Improved Grab (Ex): To use this ability, the flying snake must hit with its bite attack. If it gets a hold, it can constrict.

Constrict (Ex): A flying snake deals 1d3-2 points of damage with a successful grapple check against Tiny or smaller creatures.

Skills: Flying snakes receive a +4 racial bonus on Hide, Listen, and Spot checks, and a +8 racial bonus on Balance checks. They can use either their Strength or Dexterity modifier for Climb checks, whichever is better.

Flying snakes bite with their needle-sharp fangs or spit globs of acid at foes. They will attack any living thing they can slay and eat.
