Juvenile Grass Snake on a path in a German Forest Although this seems to be a fairly common species, I have only seen them in over 30 years of walking around in German forests.

Juvenile Grass Snake on a path in a German Forest

Although this seems to be a fairly common species, I have only seen them in over 30 years of walking around in German forests. They are also a protected species in Germany. Oh yes, and they look really cool with that yellow collar.

    Wonderful find! Hard to image for people outside Europe how few snakes our area has. I've never seen a wild one in my life. Posted 7 years ago
