Great, you're getting my tetrataenia equivalent, Natrix natrix.

That common name for N. tessellata is unfamiliar to me, they're usually called Dice Snakes.

I guess now we are even Stefan!!!

That is very interesting! I have had two different places refer to them as egyptian water snakes but I have never heard that they are Dice snakes before. Dice snakes is so much simpler though, I think I will go with that

Well, they are water snakes and that line might well be from Egypt, but I wouldn't refer to them as that. They're found in Europe, Africa and Asia, according to wikipedia.
