In the woods of Laren, volunteers and forester Dirk Mulderij made breeding piles last year, so that the grass snake would hopefully lay eggs. The result is to put through a ringlet, no fewer than fifty-one shells of the grass snake eggs have been found this week.
Due to the disappearance of manure heaps in the area, Dirk and a number of volunteers have made a breeding heap together in the woods of ‘t Laer. Not one but even two snakes have laid their eggs here. “The moment I heard that fifty-one eggs had been found in a hatchery, I was very happy. We do our best to protect and enhance nature. Then a small success like this is very nice,” says the forester.
Spot snakes
Those who want to see the grass snake should pay close attention, because this animal maneuvers quickly through the woods. The snake is dark in color, close to black. You can see a very nice pattern on the side of his body. He also has a yellow ring behind his head. That ring, of course, is where it got its name from. You can also recognize him by that,” says Dirk. If you want to go to the forest for a day to view the grass snake, this is possible. ”When people come to the play forest ‘t Laer, they can definitely spot the grass snake!”
