Northern Rough Greensnake

Opheodrys aestivus aestivus

Description:

Small wiry species. This one just under 2 ft long. As this species approaches a potential prey item it usually sways back and forth. This actually disguises its approach as the movement replicates vegetation swaying in the wind. See videos: https://youtu.be/bVy2ijTICts https://youtu.be/8QoH1SkHsYg

Habitat:

Spotted at White Oak State Park. Mixed forest.
