Not far away from our front door, this smooth snake (coronella austriaca, in German: Glatt- oder Schlingnatter) tried to have a little nosh. The chosen delicacy was a slowworm, barely smaller than its gobbler. I don't know, for how long already the snake tried to swallow the worm. But as they were hugging in the middle of the lane, I tried to save them from getting run over. What led to the snake's decision to better hide for cover hungry.
