Adults of T. greenwayi reach maturity at a total length (including tail) of 225 mm (8.9 in) in males and 250–265 mm (9.8–10.4 in) in females. The maximum total length is 38 cm (15 in).[4]
T. greenwayi occurs in the rocky limestone areas of the cays,[4] in shrubland, forest, and rural gardens.[1]
Conservation
Because of its restricted island distribution, T. greenway is susceptible to extirpation. Unless wildlife protection laws are enforced, the relatively secretive nature of this snake may be its only protection against extinction.[4]
