Both the Ahaetulla sp. and the Oxybelis fulgidus are bright green. Oxybelis Fulgidus, gets much more massive then the Ahaetulla sp and can eat rats when full grown. For a full grown Ahaetulla, a large anole is a big meal. Also, if you haven't figured out from above, Oxybelis will take rodents and Ahaetulla's are generally lizard eaters. Oxybelis are also harder to come by.
