Smooth Green Snake
The Smooth Green Snake (Opheodrys vernalis) is a small, non-venomous snake found primarily in North America. It typically measures between 18 to 30 inches in length and is known for its vibrant green coloration, which helps it blend into grassy and leafy environments. This snake is often seen in open fields, meadows, and along the edges of forests.
Smooth Green Snakes primarily feed on insects, such as grasshoppers and crickets. They are diurnal, meaning they are active during the day, and they use their keen eyesight to hunt for prey. These snakes are harmless to humans and play an important role in controlling insect populations in their habitats.
