Natrix

[reptileparadise]

So I've read. And that they'll do mock strikes. But I don't know whether they'll play dead, like Natrix natrix.

Never heard a garter hiss, but our local grass snakes do it all the time. Pretty random comment, I know.

I've never seen mine play dead...
I've seen it once in a young parietalis...Scared the crap out of me!
