RE: THE DAILY SNAKE # 3 - LITTLE ROUGH GREEN SNAKE VIDEO
We used to see smooth green snakes often when we lived in central WI. They are the prettiest color. Fantastic photos!

I loved the Smooth Green Snakes back in WI! Getting harder to find these days since they feed almost exclusively on insects and pesticide/insecticide use can devastate the population, but I still know a few good areas to try to locate them when I'm in the state. Down here in the Ozarks, we've been blessed with being able to find a lot of these Rough Green Snakes. I love the color on both species!
My grandpa told me of seeing a green snake in Wisconsin when he was a young man that stretched from 'road ditch to road ditch'. He loved walking through our woods and seeing the small green snakes that we would occasionally see there. We are doing so much damage to our world with chemicals.
Speaking of "central Wisconsin," I used to live in Rapids and Point.
I was between Mauston and Friendship. We had 60 acres of woods along the Lemonweir river just before it reached the Wisconsin. It was a great place for my kids to grow up.
