Opheodrys aestivus


Acceptable serpent, also known as bush snake, grass snake, green summer snake, green tree snake, green whip snake, huckleberry snake, keel-scaled green snake, magnolia snake, vine snake, not a green mamba. This snake died crossing the road near Ottoman, Virginia.

Anyone interested in the education, conservation, and research of Virginia's native amphibians and reptiles? Visit the Virginia Herpetological Society website immediately. Best snake photos I've ever seen...
