Here's the green one. Looked a lot greener when I was looking at it, but you can still kind of see the color ... http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/38196626.

I've also seen pale green ones down in Jones County.
ColtMooney
Yes , also how some can be a pale white or deep yellow

Hi Colt. It's interesting how much variation there can be in the markings. How large or small the spots are, whether they're crisp or blurry. Have you noticed that?
