Re: Grass Snake (natrix natrix)
I love the natrix! I thought they were protected though? Beautiful anyway though!

Re: Grass Snake (natrix natrix)
I scored 8 of these little beauties today. it was like the best show ever for me! Because of these natrix I thought I would never find them for sale in the US again!!! They are actually quite difficult to pop/sex as babies, I got a quantity to ensure mixed sexes and I cherry picked some reaaaalllly nice ones!!! I will not be keeping them all permanently, but I had to grab a bunch to ensure success. They are very easy snakes to work with, I have worked/ already work with natrix, they will eat anything! Keep them exactly like a garter. They have the same personality, curious, always hungry, semi aquatic and even a little mischievous! Btw, they are cb 2011 German imports.

Re: Grass Snake (natrix natrix)
Natrix natrix helvetica is protected in the UK. Not sure about other European subspecies in other countries. However, the protection it has isnt so tight that it cant be kept in captivity, you need to be licensed to trade them, but no license required to own one.
You don't see many of them in the wild nowdays.I would feel jealous, if I wasnt seriously condidering adding a San Fran to our menagerie. I love the colouring of the grass snake, understated and pretty.

Re: Grass Snake (natrix natrix)
i kept grassnakes during the sixty's and later, at that time they could be caught legally in Britain and i got some from north wales but found them very difficult to acclimatize which fits with the reputation for the British sub species, however at that time and for many years after the pet shops were filled with the Italian sub species which was a doddle to get used to captivity, so most of my experience was with the Italian type, i did get my hands on eight Russian grassnakes about twenty years ago maybe a little less [the memory isn't what it was] and three of them were melenistic.
from what i could find out at the time, this was a not an uncommon trait from certain parts of Russia [this was pre internet so information was hard won at this time], keeping grassnakes and some tessellater lead me into garters as they became available.
I'm not actually a gynecologist...but i'll take a look.
