Smooth Green Snake

Smooth Green Snake in the garden. Have only seen a few of these in my life and none as brightly coloured as this fella. Sorry for poor quality picture, was taken with a cell phone:

A really tropical looking touch for the hardy tropical garden!

Love it!
Yes, snakes are vital to that tropical look. :D
Plus they are eating garden pests.

Cool!

He'd certainly be camouflaged on a lawn.

Here's to all the global warming pushers, may your winters be -30 below and four feet of snow in your driveway. Because I want you happy.
