Field Notes
Description:
The snake is bright green above and has a yellowish belly, affording it excellent camouflage in green vegetation. It has keeled dorsal scales. It grows up to 116 cm (45½ inches) in total length and is very thin. It has a pinkish forked tongue.
Habitat:
We live adjacent to a wild area and large lake in North Texas. Since we love to watch nature, we created a certified wildlife habitat, a certified butterfly habitat, and a half acre garden with over 300 unique plants specifically to attract a wide variety of nature. We also have two large natural koi ponds with stream beds to attract birds, reptiles,butterflies, etc. We use no insecticides or pest control services.
