Rough Green Snake, Opheodrys aestivus
The rough green snake is a beautiful, slender, pea-green snake that is found in the shrubs, trees and vines of all the Fort Matanzas National Monument habitats. It is usually encountered during the day basking in the sun in the vegetation or slowly stalking insects, spiders and other invertebrates. It is more frequently seen in the spring months.
