The Rough Green Snake measures about 20 to 30 inches in length and is uniformly leaf-green in color. The belly is an ivory white and the throat is pale white. The scales are keeled (i.e., have a raised midline), unlike the Smooth Green Snake. The young are pale grayish-green until first shedding. Similar species include: Smooth Green Snake
Rough Green Snakes can be found in hilly areas where it frequents dry, sparse woodland habitat. They are very good climbers and often bask in low trees and bushes on sunny days. The Rough Green Snake preys mostly on insects such as grasshoppers and spiders. When threatened, it freezes in place and waits for an opportune moment then escapes for the nearest cover.
It was feeding time on Friday night. Here's our Baird's Rat Snake eating a mouse. Note that the mouse came out of the freezer and is already dead. Unlike other, stupider snakes in our collection, this one just grabs and swallows it -- maybe he's aware that it's already dead.
