A Grass Snake Found Hanging Out in Germany

A small grass snake (Natrix natrix) is captured on video resting in the narrow gap of a door frame in Germany. The snake, which is harmless to humans, features a distinct light-colored marking behind its head that gives it the appearance of wearing a small bow tie. Grass snakes are common in the region and are known for being non-venomous, often employing defensive behaviors like playing dead or releasing a foul-smelling fluid if they feel threatened, rather than biting.

One of the most harmless creatures out there. No danger here. This snake plays dead and even secrets a stinking fluid in case of danger but never attacks. Besides, it has no teeth...
