Summary[edit]

Description
English: The European Grass Snake (Natrix natrix), sometimes called the Ringed Snake or Water Snake is a non-venomous snake. It is often found near water and feeds almost exclusively on amphibians. The specimen in the picture is an adult female with a length of approximately one metre. Yellow skin tones are due to ambient light. Under neutral light the specimen is mainly grey/white.
Français : Gros plan sur la tête d'une couleuvre à collier (Natrix natrix) femelle adulte. Ce spécimen a une longueur d'un mètre environ. La couleur jaune est due à la lumière ambiante. Sous lumière neutre l'animal est gris-blanc. La couleuvre à collier est un serpent non venimeux d'Europe. Son collier, ses pupilles rondes, et ses larges écailles frontales la distingue des vipères, dont elle contribue à limiter la population. La couleuvre à collier se trouve souvent bronzant près de l'eau. Elle se nourrit presque exclusivement de batraciens.
