The Grass Snake Is a non-venomous water snake specie . It's found all over Europe near lakes, rivers, marshes ect.. It feeds on amphibians, mainly frogs. They are quite a small specie of snakes growing up to an average of 70-90cm long (Although I have found the largest one ever recorded in Bulgaria, which was an epic 1.83m long) They are typically dark green or brown with a yellow color behind the head. They are the most common species of snake in Bulgaria and are also one of the most common snake species in the whole of Europe. They breed in April, and lay 10 to 40 eggs in one batch!! When they feel threatened they produce a horrible smelling fluid. They really extremely rarely bite, I have caught hundreds of them and only once has one ever tried to bite me. One of there most known defense mechanisms is to play dead.
