A blurred image of a bright green snake among brown leaf litter overlayed with the text "WARNING: Snake Ahead. Swipe to Reveal"

A bright green snake peers forward through dry brown leaves, its head raised slightly with dark round eyes and a yellow underside visible beneath its chin.

A slender green snake stretches across leaf litter, its head turned slightly to the side as it flicks its thin, forked tongue while moving through dry brown leaves.

A small green snake moves across a forest floor covered in dry leaves and pebbles, its long body blending into the earthy tones while its bright green scales stand out against the ground.

This bright little rough green snake stood out against the leaf litter like a living neon ribbon. 🌿🐍

Rough Greensnake, Union County, IL 9.25.25
"Rough" because each scale has a longitudinal keel or ridge, unlike the Smooth Greensnakes found in Lake County, IL. Rough Greensnakes also are far more arboreal than Smooth Greensnakes.

While searching for Eastern Box Turtles, Andrea recently found a small Rough Green Snake stretched out in the grass getting some morning sun. Can you find it too?

Been a fun couple nights. Here are a few out of the couple handful found. Florida cottonmouth (Agkistrodon conanti), Florida scarlet snake (Cemophora coccinea coccinea), & a rough green (Opheodrys aestivus).

Close-up of snake's head; green on top and yellow underneath

Got to see my first rough green snake of the season. This was a small one, perhaps a foot long.

Close up of a rough greensnake's head, viewed from the side. The snake is slender and bright green with a cream-colored chin. Its eye is large and gold, with a round pupil.

Rough greensnakes are one of my favorite things to find, and I had good luck with them this year. Here's a closeup of one found in #Pennsylvania back in September.
