Thumbs up Found a rare treat - Native green snakes (New Pics!)

Found this lovely Smooth Green snake in the back yard.

This is a young adult, they don't get a whole lot bigger. Primary diet is insects and spiders.

First specimen I have seen in a few years, Used to see them a lot, but increased use of pesticides have diminished the numbers significantly.
