Natal Green Snake

Philothamnus natalensis

Harmless

If there is a snake in front of you right now

Move away and take children and pets with you. Do not try to catch or kill it. Then call a snake remover. That is the right response for every snake, harmless or not, so there is no need to identify it first.

Another harmless green garden snake, often confused with the Spotted Bush Snake and, less fairly, with a boomslang. Eats frogs and lizards. Common in gardens with dense cover and a pond.
