Smooth green snakes are seldom found on the ground.  We just saw one 
yesterday coming nearly vertical down a tree trunk, clinging to rough places 
in the bark.  They are very boring snakes to keep in captivity because they 
move so slowly in order to look like part of a plant.  My husband says he's 
nearly chopped such snakes several times with a machete or clippers before 
he spotted them.  Donna
