Battersby’s green snake is the most common snake in Kenya. Despite their specific habitat preferences, they are quite adaptable. This adaptability, along with their reproductive strategy of laying 3-11 eggs per clutch, sometimes communally, helps maintain their populations in diverse environments. They can flourish even in urban areas with polluted streams such as Addis Ababa and Nairobi.
