The Green or Common Tree Snake is one of the most commonly seen snakes in suburban backyards, parks, and even inner city gardens. It lives in northern and eastern Australia.
Green Tree Snakes have no fangs and no venom. They are very reluctant to bite and would rather slither away. If provoked, a Green Tree Snake will rise up, inflate its throat and body, and make a stink from its anal glands – so best not to get too close.
First time I have had such a good view of this snake
As always, Many thanks for taking time to view, comment and fave. Thats very much appreciated
Milk Snakes are non venomous but they can pack a mean bite and draw blood! As first hand witnessed as a boy. These snakes can reach between 3-6 ft. long.
Interesting thing was this snake coiled up on me when in the grass and vibrated his tail just like a rattle snake! He struck at the stick I put near him!
I wanted to give depth to the stamens and in the end it reminds me of 6 little snakes poking their heads out of a green void.
Today is no time to take a photo! So, here is an old one! Taken in Hannover! Wish you all a great day!
Why you need to also look down while looking up ...
Gopher snake - about 3-4 feet long. Harmless, but startling.

Wikipedia: Commonly known as the keeled rat snake, Ptyas carinata is a species of colubrid snake. It is found in Indonesia, Myanmar, Malaysia, Thailand, Philippines, Cambodia, Vietnam and Singapore. This little known species is probably the largest extant species in the diverse colubrid family that comprised just over half of living snake species. Known adult lengths of snakes of this species in Taiwan measured anywhere from 1.21 to 2.75 m (4 ft 0 in to 9 ft 0 in). However, the maximum reportedly size was about 4 m (13 ft 1 in). Males reportedly average slightly larger than females. They are probably opportunistic predators on a variety of prey, such as rodents, though adult lizards are thought to be significant prey in Indonesia.

This cottonmouth snake was huge. One of the biggest that I have seen. It was sunning on the warm pavement when I was driving to go biking. I stopped to see if I could encourage it to move, but it was enjoying the sun too much. The road is lightly travelled and when I left the park later the snake was off of the road.

The Snake River Canyon (also known as the Grand Canyon) is formed by the Snake River in western Wyoming, United States, south of Jackson Hole. The Snake River cuts through a fold and thrust belt on its way from Hoback, Wyoming to Alpine, Wyoming. The North American Plate has pushed against the Farallon Plate to create many geologic features including the folds and thrusts visible in the Snake River Canyon in Wyoming.

Snake wine is an alcoholic beverage produced by infusing whole snakes in rice wine or grain alcohol. The drink was first recorded to have been consumed in China during the Western Zhou dynasty and considered an important curative and believed to reinvigorate a person according to Traditional Chinese medicine. It can be found in China, Goa (India), Vietnam, and throughout Southeast Asia.
The snakes, preferably venomous ones, are not usually preserved for their meat but to have their "essence" and snake venom dissolved in the liquor. The snake venom poses no threat to the drinker. It is denatured by the ethanol—its proteins are unfolded and therefore inactive and would be denatured by stomach acid anyway. [Wikipedia]

A real find today - one of the volunteer gardeners at Copped Hall was weeding and surprised by a grass snake whipping away from her trusty trowel. Thank you Frances for calling me and showing me where it had gone. I sat down and waited hoping for a reappearance. I don't know how long it had been watching me but I finally spotted it and watched it tasting the air and looking for safety. Sorry for those who don't like snakes - I think they are stunningly beautiful.
