Last Sunday I found this baby on a mossy stone. Was no more than a foot and looked so helpless bird that had been there it could have a light snack of a peck. Seeing it was difficult to imagine that in a few years could reach six feet in length, but not have it all easy, because natural predators as foxes and birds of prey, they join clubs and spades in the hands of people who still think they are the devil reincarnated evil in its purest form.
The water snakes, like the grass snake (Natrix natrix ) are completely harmless reptiles, that all they do to scare your enemies is to pretend that attack and then be made dead. And if you disturb too literally scared shit of releasing a foul-smelling substance to try and driven away. Or bite or have venom.
I personally seem some animals preciosssssosss with ojossss essssos redondossss and grandessss and that mouth that seems to be ssssilbar start any time now.
" Trusssst in me, in me
Sssshut Jussssst eyesss you, and I
trusssst in ssssleep Puede, Ssssafe, and sssound
Knowing I am around, Drift Into ssssilent sssslumber
Sssail on a sssilver missst, but Surely your ssslowly sssenses will Cease, to reasssist
Trusssst in me, in me jusssst "
(Kaa Mowgli in The Jungle Book, Rudyard Kipling, 1894)
