European Grass Snake basic information

The European Grass Snake usually grows to about three feet (180 centimeters) in length, and its slender body is usually an olive brown color. Variations of brown and green exist, as do black pigmentations. Females are larger than males and may grow up to five feet long. Many have black spots on their sides and back, and a yellow or white collar rings the neck of these snakes. Some have yellow rings around the black spots. Their collar gives them the names Collared or Ringed Snakes.
