I need to know what kins of snake this is. He is about 2 feet long, the width of a pencil (not mine) his pupils are elongeted anterioraly giving him stereoscopic vision. His back is a uniform green. His ventral side is a uniform slightly lighter shade of green . There is a crisp white stripe that divides the dorsal and ventral scales. WHAT IS IT?

Its an Asian vine snake(Ahaetulla sp.) Need a better shot of the head to say exactly which species, but could be Ahaetulla prasina,aka short nosed vine snake. That is the one commonly available.Slightly venomous, but not dangerous.Arboreal ,feeds mainly on lizards.

That is the one commonly available.But if it doesn't have loreal shields, ie; if the prefrontals are touching the labials it might be A.nasuta. Slightly venomous, not dangerous, mainly arboreal, feeds mostly on lizards.
