Opheodrys aestivus
A small colubrid snake, usually growing to around two feet in length, size may vary. Rough keeled scales give it it's name.
This snake is arboreal meaning that it spends it's life in the trees. Many people never see the small snake.
The green scales on the snake let it blend in with almost any green foliage and it is a miracle to find one. They usually feed on insects and Chordata such as lizards, and minnows.
