About Rough Green Snake

Rough green snakes are docile and seldom bite, when encountered by humans they often freeze allowing for a close approach. Even if they do bite they have no venom and are harmless to humans.​

Even though they are definitely highly arboreal snakes they are also often found on the ground, routinely foraging in thick vegetation along shorelines during the daytime. During the night they can often be observed sleeping coiled in thick vegetation, shrubs, bushes or vine tangles.

Housing the Green Snake

Green snakes are small snakes, so do you not need a huge tank, but you do need to provide vertical space for climbing. A 30-gallon tank is a good choice because it provides lots of space for greenery as well as hiding spots. Green snakes are peaceful, so they can be kept in groups; three can live comfortably in a 30-gallon tank. The tank will need a very tight-fitting fine mesh screen lid to prevent escapes.

The greenery should fill at least a third of the tank. Branches and vines should also be provided for climbing as well as some hide boxes. For the substrate, reptile carpet makes a good choice, as do simple paper towels or paper. Substrates that could accidentally be ingested are best avoided.

Green Water Snake

A small shy nondescript and inoffensive green snake. These snakes favour damp localities such as shaded streams. Dense bushes and shrubs where they will actively hunt prey during the day. A uniform green snake which may have the appearance of being a pastel green, the belly is white and often will have a prominent yellow snout.

A fair less arboreal snake than the other green snake spending less time in trees and shrubs. They can often be found sleeping amongst the foliage at night on game drives and by herpetologists out frogging amongst the reeds in dams and ponds. When handled they will seldom attempt to bite and on ocasion may inflate the neck region and strike out in self defence but this is not common amongst the species.
