In this Pic all was fine again and it decided to slither away into the woods!!

This Natrix Natrix (European Grass Snake) was rescued from a soccer field in germany by @Thomas Jestädt! It´s the most common snake in Central Europe and of the most beautiful one´s either thank you for submitting the shot Thomas :) It displayed one of it´s well known defensive behaviors- Playing dead! In this Pic all was fine again and it decided to slither away into the woods. It´s a very aquatic snake which you will mostly find near water bodies looking for tadpoles, frogs small mammals and the occasional bufo bufo (Common Toad). It´s a great swimmer and reaches a maximum length of up to 201 centimetres! (This is the maximum size recorded in a real real big female found on the island Krk in North-croatia ) their average size is said to be 80 centimetres, although as females become larger than males individuals over 120 centimetres are not rare and even some 1,5 metre long animals show up from time to time.
