Re: Natrix natrix

It's the only subspecies we have.



Not the best picture and much of the head is obscured. Also not the most common coloring in the area where I found this one, most are metallic grey with black markings of varying size and shape, from small barely noticable dots to a sharp, almost checkered pattern.

I believe they all do that Reah, though I've only seen it a couple of times (in N. n. helvetica) and I've caught a lot.

Re: Natrix natrix

Sounds easy to capture, just scare it and pick it up.

PS: I want it.
