green snakes

Verdant slithering reptiles

Green snakes are small, slender, nonvenomous snakes native to North America, bright green in color and typically found in grassy or leafy habitats.

The smooth green snake and rough green snake are the two species.

Their camouflage makes them difficult to spot: We almost stepped on a green snake sunning itself in the meadow.
