Zamenis Longissimus

Laurenti 1768

Finally, after 2 years I found this specimen on a little abandoned road, in the past its latin name was ''Elaphe Longissima''. It is a quiet snake, that can be found in threes aswel where it finds food. Babies are very well marked and with the time the patterns become more uniform like this one, from yellowish to green-olive color. It is very common in europe, but not that easy to see.

Nice face-to-face
