Arboreal is a word meaning "related to or resembling trees". Its meaning comes from the Latin arbor, meaning tree.

In biology, an arboreal animal is one which inhabits or spends large amounts of time in trees or bushes.

Life in the trees
Fully arboreal snakes are usually slender and lightly built. Often they are green to blend into the foliage. Some species can move very quickly through branches, even though the gap is wide and the branch is thin and brittle. Semi-arboreal snakes include the ratsnakes, several kinds of boas and pythons, and green snakes. They do not spend most of their time in trees but seem to climb them because they see prey or need to bask. The reasons that snakes become arboreal are unclear; some think that it is because of better chances for catching prey; others think that it is because the trees may be safer. Whatever the reason or reasons, it can safely be said that snakes have adapted sucessfully to life in the trees.
