Opheodrys aestivus
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.
This little one was hiding in the Bridal Veil spirea. It pink tongue flicking was the only thing that gave away its position.
