Mass awakening of snakes starts in Serbia! Unreal CLOSE UP video from Gradac River
The last few days have been sunny and warm in Serbia, and because of such weather, snakes have started to "wake up" and came out of their winter shelters. Thus a grass snake was filmed wriggling through the beautiful nature close to the Gradac River.
The snake moved over warm rocks and moss right next to the river, and Instagram user ledex1980 captured the scene and published it on his account.
Even after she slipped and fell into the river, the snake continued gracefully with her head held high.
During brumation, snakes become extremely sluggish, their metabolism slows down, they stop eating because they cannot digest food without heat. However, if an exceptionally warm winter day occurs, they may wake up briefly and even drink some water, then return to the shelter.
When the weather gets warms, their become active again and seek to be in direct sun and that's exactly why these days we can see them on rocks, tree stumps, pathsways...
The grass snake in the video was probably on her first hunt after going months without food.
Grass snakes are some of the most recognizable non-venomous snakes in our country. They usually grow up to a meter in length, although females can reach up to 1.5 meters. They love wet areas and are excellent swimmers.
