Interesting. Yes of course. It is known they are here. I will pass your details on to him.

Me and my colleagues just published a big research article on Sporades’ herpetofauna. We couldn’t find a single evidence on the viper’s presence on the island. Can you please bring me in contact with Mr. Costas Andreou to see if he actually took that photo on Skopelos? My email is info@herpetofauna.gr
Thank you in advance!
Best regards
Ilias

Yes. I can. Please WhatsApp me the photo. If it’s big, it’s likely to be a rat snake; four lined probably.

Tonight we had our first visitor as we were awoken by a rustling sound and found a huge snake in the tent.
Not knowing which type it was we were quite alarmed. I think it was a rat snake….
Is there anyone that could help us identify it.
I made a photo of it.
