The elusive green snake. I had a worm snake for a a few weeks and thought that was kind of rare.
A little bit more about the green snake. Not endangered but of special concern.

I never seen a worm snake, how did you find that one?

It was lent to me by a CT Herpatologist. He never tells me his secret spots.
It was this guy. I believe the copperheads where seen behind the Higganum Middle School Trail.

Wow. I found one of these as a kid (late 80s). I thought it looked like it didn’t belong in or come from this state. I kept it for a year.

I found one on 85 next to Horse Pond about ten years ago. I had no idea we had snakes like that - I thought maybe it had fallen off a truck driving in from somewhere warmer.
I had no idea they were so rare. I'm glad I had a chance to see that gorgeous little guy.

Didn't realize they were so rare. Found this little green boi late spring 2022.

Excellent article thank you for posting. I guess I'm lucky to see one when I was 10 years old in a meadow in wethersfield, the meadow is now covered with houses.
