What kind of snake is a lime-green snake in south Texas?

It is a Northern Rough Greensnake. So called because of the keel like ridges on its scales which gives it a "rough" feel unlike normal smooth scaled snakes. These lime green snakes are often found in dense, low lying vegetation near a permanent water source. They rely on their color for camouflage and will usually attempt to escape if threatened. They rarely bite instead relying on the release of feces, musk, and urine to throw off predators. Their primary diet is soft bodied arthropods, including crickets, spiders, moths, butterflies, and grasshoppers. Green snakes are oviparous.

How do you tell if your snake is about to shed?

Hi there!

Theres quite a few ways to help your snake shed. Moisture is the key here... You want to get your humidty levels upto around 40-60%. Provide a nice moist area for your snake to use, You dont want it to be too moist as this can cause scale rot. Damp Spaughnam moss is good for this. Shouldn't be so wet that there is water dripping off it, But just damp enough that if you squeeze it there will be a bit of leakage.

Alterantively, you can use a damp towel/flannel.

Also make sure you provide a rough surface that your snake can rub against to help break the skin from the tip of its nose, then move along to pull its shed down.
