Opheodrys aestivus
Very long, very thin little green Green Grass Snake or smooth green grass snake
Snakes have never been my thing. I respect them and keep my distance. I don't get close enough to be able to tell the difference. This little guy was very colorful and nonthreatening.
You're welcome! You should probably change the common name too. Garter snakes are striped and/or checkered, and not green. :-)
Hi. Great series! This is Opheodrys aestivus if not Opheodrys vernalis (see suggestion). For a picture of Thamnophis sirtalis annectens see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Thamno.... Cheers
