Releasing foul odors, playing dead or hissing while assuming the strike position may be the first reactions of a frightened European grass snake (Natrix natrix).Which reaction is chosen depends upon the particular threat and the particular situation. For example, the snake that is moulting tends to play dead. The reason lies in the snake's vulnerability at that time. Specifically, moulting has its effects on the snake's eyes and vision. The snake's eyes go milky white. The visually-challenged snake tries to avoid both predator and prey interactions. It goes limp if interactions are unavoidable.Just as the snake prefers fresh prey, so do its predators. So the thought of a limp, dying or dead snake is quite unappetizing to the discriminating predator.
It is called the corkscrew because if it is frightened, it coils its tail tightly.
