Because of its small size, the Rough Green snake (Opheodrys aestivus) would rather flee or camouflaged in dense vegetation when it sees a predator. Such a size plus ease of care make them easily domesticated, however, they are not a common pet. The rough green snake belongs to the family Colubridae, nonvenomous, diurnal, arboreal, preferring woodlands, and moist meadow besides being a good swimmer. These snakes are communal nesters with females being larger than males, though males have longer tails. They are native to North America with a yellowish belly, bright green coat, and are also called green grass snakes or grass snakes.
