We had Green Racers that lived in the Prune Orchard Where I grew up. They never caused a problem but one of my cousins has a snake phobia. He would not go into some places for fear that there might be a snake.I saw a snake like that the other day, only it was bright green and black. Small, like a red racer. I was the hero mom for picking it up and showing it to my boys. I should have taken a picture of it before I let it go.
