Its a leaf--Its a vine-- Its, a snake?

 This vibrant little creature is a rough green snake. It's a small species of snake and they only get around this big, but to make up for this they are extremely camouflaged among leaves and vines. It's not venomous or very aggressive, it rarely bites even when picked up, so it poses no threat to humans. Large insects, lizards, and small birds eggs however are much less safe. It stalks its prey in the trees, hides in plain sight, but once it's close enough,  it grabs and swallows its prey whole.
