Green Vine Snake 🐍
Mildly Venomous the head is shaped like an arrow, they are very well camoflouged in the trees.they live up to the name as Green Vine. During the night walk initially it was tough for me to find one. While there were many of them around.
They usually sit coiled in trees their place waiting for frogs andsmall animals, frogs to come in and hunts them.
This snake is very slender, roughly 2 cm (0.79 in) thick, and may attain a total length of about 1.5–2 m (59–79 in). The tail is long and very delicate, but mostly used to hold on while reaching for prey. The head is aerodynamically shaped and very pointy, the mouth is very large and extends almost the whole length of the head. The tongue is long and green; when in use it is kept outside the mouth and moved up and down. this behavior is reflected in other species of vine snake and it is believed that they are using their tongues as sights the way a cat uses its whiskers, as they move very quickly through branches and brush.
It is bright green dorsally, and yellowish green ventrally and on the upper lip.
