Took my group of milos grass snakes out of Brumation on Friday. Took a couple of shots tody. There normally quite shy but seem bolder since been out.

Very nice The face kinda reminds me of a garter.

Beautiful! How do they compare to the native helvetica in behavior and care?

Beautiful animal.

Those are the garter snakes of Europe. I bet that if they were naturally occurring in America, they would be in the genus Thamnophis.

Natrix actually lay eggs Greg. That's the main thing separating them from North American Natricines.

They really do look dramatically different from the other forms of this species! Almost thought I was looking at something else.

That, a few million years of evolution and about 25 000 -30 000 km.

Very nice looking snake. Are they as difficult to feed as helvetica?
