I am trying to find more information as well as a scientific name for a snake that is listed as a Giant Chinese Green Grass Snake. Can anyone help me?

It is probably Cyclophiops major (which used to be called Opheodrys major). They are sometimes sold as Giant Greensnakes.
There are some other green snakes in China, but none that would be likely to be sold as Giant Green Grass Snake.

that's actually what came to my mind as well.
Man -- I didn't know about that name change either. I hear now that they are calling their species of brownfrogs "Hylarana". Even though they seem to me more closely related to our wood frogs than our wood frogs are to bullfrogs but those might get switched to Lithobates in the near future if they haven't been already. *twitch*
