Good morning, longtime reader/lurker but seldom do I post anything. A coworker took these pics of what seems to me as a very odd looking snake. It was about a year ago on a cool day. He reported that the snake was moving very slowly. The pics were taken in a subdivision in Whitfield County GA. Thanks in advance for any replies.

Well... If that pic was taken in Whitfield County Ga, that coachwhip was found that far north.

Haha that's exactly what I said when I saw the pic! Another coworker said, "Thats some kinda exotic jungle snake that somebody turned loose!" But I was assured it was real and was indeed moving. The green hue is what threw me off.

Oh, and thanks for all of the replies!
