[Thamnophis]

@ Stefan-A... No, Grass Snakes normally don't bite. They musk and try to get away.

@ Cazador... The Czech republic is a very pretty country with friendly people and low costs. And they invented the beer!!!

In the Netherlands it is forbidden to keep Grass Snakes. It doesn't matter what subspecies it is. All subspecies are forbidden.
In the Netherlands it is impossible to get a permit as a privat person to keep them.
In the Reptilezoo where I work we have a permit for keeping them when they are brought to us by the governement. When it is unknown where they come from, they stay in our zoo.
