| Opheodrys vernalis (Harlan, 1827) |
The Smooth Green Snake (Opheodrys vernalis) is a non-venomous North American snake, also called a 'Grass Snake' in American English. It is a snake of increasing conservation concern in some U.S. states.
The snake is bright green and found mainly in moist meadows, prairies and clearings in coniferous forest. They are almost entirely insectivorous eating mainly crickets, grasshoppers, and smooth caterpillars.
