green snake

Emerald-colored reptile slithering

Green snake refers to any of several slender, nonvenomous snakes that are bright green in color, particularly the smooth green snake and rough green snake of North America.

They're docile, insect-eating snakes that blend into grass and foliage.

A green snake disappeared into the bushes before I could get a closer look.
