"Natrix natrix" is the scientific, Latin or binomial name for the Eurpean water snake.

The European grass, ringed or water snake casts off its skin during its active season. The growth of body parts and the splitting of the old skin have their impact upon the snake's eyes and vision. Specifically, the snake's eyes turn milky white. The visually-challenged snake tries to stay away from both predator and prey while in this vulnerable state of not being able to see well.
