She is an Ahaetulla prasnia, oriental green whip snake. There are actually 6 different species of asian vine snake. They are lizard feeders, almost entirely arboreal. They are rear-fanged, mildly venomous, not considered dangerous to humans. They do have pretty large teeth, and can deliver a pretty good bite, but aren't generally prone to being aggressive unless they are threatened. I've even talked to people who free-handle them in the wild without incident. They are extremely observant and its almost like they can see in a 360 degree arc around them. You can't sneak up on them. All in all, they're pretty easy to keep - typical humid/warm arboreal enclosure with plenty of leaves and hiding spots. The main issue is feeding, since they will not take to a rodent diet. (At least I've never heard of anyone very successful with it.)
