The Green Tree Snake is usually green but may also be black, blue or yellow. They can camouflage themselves on a tree.

These snakes are harmless to humans, they have no venom and are not aggressive.

They live in rainforests, open forests and rural areas and can be found in urban gardens.

Green tree snakes are active by day and feed on frogs, fish and small reptiles. They have large eyes and keen eyesight.

They rest at night in hollow trees, logs, foliage, rock crevices and other sheltered areas.
