Oxybelis aeneus, commonly known as the Mexican vine snake or the brown vine snake, is a species in the family Colubridae, the colubrid snakes. It is endemic to the Americas, being found from the mountains of southern Arizona in the United States south through Mexico to northern South America and Trinidad and Tobago. The species is usually encountered in trees or shrubs on open, steep, and grassy slopes, but is also associated with wooded canyons, especially those with abundant vegetation. Its diet consists mainly of lizards (mostly anoles), but it also eats frogs, small rodents and birds. This O. aeneus snake was photographed by the Gulf of Mexico coast in the El Palmar State Reserve, near Sisal in the Mexican state of Yucatán.
