Antique engraved illustration of the grass snake. Vintage illustration of the ring snake. Old engraved picture of the reptile. The grass snake & x28;Natrix natrix& x29;, sometimes called the ringed snake or water snake, is a Eurasian non-venomous colubrid snake. It is often found near water and feeds almost exclusively on amphibians. The grass snake is typically dark green or brown in colour with a characteristic yellow or whitish collar behind the head, which explains the alternative name ringed snake. The colour may also range from grey to black, with darker colours being more prevalent in colder regions, presumably owing to the thermal benefits of being dark in colour. The underside is whitish with irregular blocks of black, which are useful in recognizing individuals. It can grow to 1 m & x28;3 ft 3 in& x29; or more in length.
