A thicket of blackberries or greenbrier is ideal. It may also be found moving through grassy areas. The rough green snake sits in bushes waiting for prey. I often sits with open mouth while moving back and forth like a vine in a slight breeze. They only eats live insects and spiders.
Favorites are crickets, grasshoppers and insect larvae.
Breeding Breeding dates are not known but eggs are deposited in rotting wood or loose soil in late June or July. Young take 6 to 12 weeks to hatch and take two years mature.
