When it feels threatened, it may flatten its neck and raise its head, similar to how venomous vipers do, hence its common name. However, it is a non-venomous snake and its bite is not dangerous to humans.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Eating Habits<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>These snakes are carnivorous and feed primarily on aquatic prey such as fish, frogs and tadpoles. They may also consume small mammals and birds that come near water.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Reproduction<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The viperine snake&#8217;s breeding season usually occurs in spring. They lay eggs in hidden nests near water. The young hatch from the eggs and are independent from birth.<\/p>\n<p>It is important to note that despite its defensive behaviour and snake-like appearance, the viperine snake is harmless to humans and is an important component of the aquatic ecosystem in which it is found.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Scientific Name The viperine snake is scientifically known as Natrix maura.
