Among the various species introduced to Berlin by humans, there are indications that Grass Snakes (
Natrix natrix) from Southern Europe might have been released into the area. Although this species is native to Berlin, the introduced individuals exhibit distinct morphological and genetic differences. To investigate the current Grass Snake population, we aim to collect samples from as many specimens as possible.
