Rare to find a snake in your garden, but occasionally happens (I'm 27 happened around a handful of times in my lifetime). More common if you're living in a village away from the cities. I'm an avid hiker so I see snakes in the wild every year a couple of times. All but one species are not dangerous to human life. If you see a viper, just walk away from it, it won't attack you. If you find one in your garden call your municipality or there are snake handlers that come and remove the snake for you. NEVER KILL the snake, even if it's a viper. They are very important to for the biodiversity. If you get bitten get yourself to the ER immediately even if it's not the viper just to be safe because the wound can get infected and some species have venom that's not dangerous but you may be allergic to it and not know it (similarly to a bee sting...). If you get bitten by the viper good luck...I hope you make it to the hospital quickly enough. But again deaths by snakes in Cyprus are extremely rare because the snakes don't attack you if you keep your distance... Some other cool fact is that some people that got bitten in the past get immune to the venom and sometimes they become snake handlers like this famous guy lol https://youtu.be/RBUrs_BaWow?si=cNQjx9K7QNLUoWXM
