Location: 5 miles NNE of FM2706 at Hwy 287, Anderson County, TX
Site: In a Dogwood tree of a hardwood forest
Weather: Sunny and warm, winds calm
Temperature: 83o F Humidity: 49%
Notes: While exploring a forest in East Texas this sunny morning, Chad came across a Rough Green Snake as it was threading its way through the low branches of a Dogwood tree. These harmless, gentle snakes have a slender body that blends in perfectly with the greenery of the habitat they live in. Climbing among vines and shrubs a few feet off the ground, they search for soft bodied insects like katydids or the larvae of moths and butterflies to eat.
