OUR FIRST CASUALTY


Sadly, this beautiful snake got tangled up in the netting that we had placed over our vegetable patch and perished in the blistering sun that we have had here throughout August!

To be perfectly honest we did approach it with trepidation just in case in was just asleep! Once we realised that we had been responsible for it’s death we were both mortified!

We know there are a total of 13 snakes present in Spain, five of which are venomous. These are the Seoane's viper, Asp viper, Snub-nosed viper, False smooth snake and the Montpellier snake.


We've no idea what snake this is, but we are rather hoping that it is (or was) one of the eight that are not venomous!

Any suggestions to what it might be would be gratefully received......
