Hi there

Some of you talked about herping pictures. Here are some pictures from a very small area close to my home. I was out there to have a look at some local snakes (Natrix natrix helvetica & Coronella austriaca). The Natrix is also a snake out of the Natricinae complex (watersnakes) like Thamnophis. But instead of the most Thamnophis, they're swimming very often and hunt fish quite good.

Here are some pics. The snakes you see are Natrix natrix helvetice (didn't found any Coronella). The lizards are Zootoca vivipara and the toad is a Bombina variegata.
