Could serpentine dragons exist?

Contrary to popular belief serpentine dragons are not in fact magical or related to the European wyvern but instead are descended from the Chrysopelea. some common characteristics of serpentine dragons are:

• are on average 25 feet long
• are not capable of powered flight but instead are able to glide for long distances
• have fins derived from their ribs
• have a pedal like tail for steering
• have claw like scales for climbing
• have above average intelligence compared to other snakes

given these characteristics could serpentine dragons exist and how might they evolve?

NOTE: magic does not exist in my story
