Hard rain doesn't stop Marsono Adi from helping the house owner.
It turns out that the snake that makes the lady anxious is Ahaetulla prasina, one of a species of green snakes.
In Indonesia, people call this snake a grass snake, because it lives near the top of a branch, tree, and grass.
The snake that has a green color from its head to the tail, known as a non-threatening snake to humans.
The Exalos Indonesia founder, Janu W. Widodo, said that the consistent green color of the snake has a function in their life.
"It's for its character to defend against the predator," said Janu.
Ahaetulla prasina has low venom and will be considered dangerous for its prey, not for humans. But, for some people who have an allergy, the venom could be dangerous.
This green snake is one of the often snakes that are encountered near housing, gardens, and on the edge of a river and farm.
The snake is active in the morning and in the daylight and lives in a tree.
Their body is quite slim, appropriate for exploring or passing through the tree, with a maximum length could reach 2 meters.
Even though it is arboreal, it is also often found on the ground to seek prey.
This rear-fanged snake has low venom to harm a human, but it can kill lizards, frogs, and sometimes a bird.
Its body color has variation, from light-green, green or darker, and lite-brown, or even yellow.
When threatened, the snake will expand its body, revealing a checkered coat of scales that are usually black, creating an impressive appearance that can be frightening to predators.
The grass snake reproduces by ovoviviparity. The young are brown, with yellow and black spots.
