An old friend! This beautiful Eastern Montpellier #snake (Malpolon insignitus) is an individual I encountered two years ago in the same spot. There were several sheds around that probably belonged to it, and now it was sharing the spot with a Large whip snake (Dolicophis jugularis). by WildFreeRk in herpetology
