The Laura is a small snake that mainly hunts lizards and frogs in light woodland and bush, replying on it's bright green coloration to avoid detection from raptors and other birds. A harmless snake, but no matter how harmless it is still killed on sight by humans simply because it is a snake. What a shame.
