Opheodrys aestivus
Not going to share exact locality info on this guy - they're aren't particularly rare but there can be dozens covering the patch of road where this individual was found and I dont want to be responsible for someone getting lots of green on their car tyres.
Prairie, sawgrass, palmetto.
Lat: 28.53, Long: -81.38

superb detail! well done!
Congratulations Kristian, this spotting is featured in the Project Noah blog today! http://blog.projectnoah.org/post/3212133...
What a beauty!
I'm pretty green with envy (pardon the forced and strained intentionally-unintended pun). I love rough greens, but haven't seen one in years! Waiting for the moment to arrive...!!! This shot is what I aspire to with a snake like this. Fantastic, fantastic, fantastic composition!!!
I love the focus in this photo. Gorgeous snake, looks like he's posing for the camera!
very nice!
Lovely photo!
