Rough green snakes tend to be stressed by handling, so if you see one in the wild just leave it where you found it and observe without handling it. The diet of O. aestivus consists mostly of insects and other terrestrial arthropods, but some snails and tree frogs are eaten as well. This snake is not a constrictor; most prey are grabbed and simply swallowed alive. O. aestivus has been shown to rely heavily on visual cues for prey detection and to prefer living prey items.

This was an interesting flip I had earlier this fall! This rough green snake was perfectly coiled, hiding in a shingle pile! Definitely my first time flipping this species, which spends a majority of its time up in trees and bushes. Video is up on YouTube! #fyp #explore #trending #snakes #reptiles #animals #nature #wildlife #satisfying #treasure #outdoors | Will Robertson's Wildlife

It is sometimes called grass snake or green grass snake, but these names are more commonly applied to the smooth green snake (Opheodrys vernalis). The European colubrid called grass snake (Natrix natrix) is unrelated. The rough green snake is docile, often allowing close approach by humans, and seldom bites.
