Rough Green Snake

Description

Being a common snake across much of the southeastern United States, they seem to evade me. This was only the second observation I have made. Rough green snakes are semi-arboreal spending much of their time in bushes and trees, an uncommon characteristic for North American snakes. Their range reaches west only to central Oklahoma, Texas and northern Mexico. They hunt insects and spiders in vegetation well above the ground, and their green camouflage lets even healthy populations go unnoticed.
