European Grass Snake
The European Grass Snake (Natrix natrix) is a non-venomous snake commonly found across Europe. It typically inhabits wetlands, grasslands, and forests, where it can easily blend into its surroundings. This snake is known for its distinctive green or brown coloration, often featuring a yellow or white collar behind its head.
European Grass Snakes primarily feed on amphibians, such as frogs and toads, but they may also consume small fish and invertebrates. They are excellent swimmers and can often be seen near water bodies. During the colder months, they hibernate in burrows or under debris to escape the cold.
