Such amazing observations again, stunning

Two smooth snakes Coronella austriaca: baby and adult female. The mother?

Thanks!

I stopped driving because I saw a dead baby quatuorlineata. And only after a while I saw the living baby situla nearby!

Another baby situla saved from the street

This picture show how difficult it can be to see (and save) these small snakes from streets while driving. It's a third specimen this one!

when the weather is warmer and sunny, other species appear on the streets.
As this baby female Malpolon. Its head was kept up as a "periscope", but when I took the pictures there was no longer need for it to make a "periscope" because it had already clearly seen me and my car!

Melisellensis mating



And two specimens of Lacerta bilineata

Do you see the snake?



It's a normally coloured gemonensis


And this one is a more "orange/rusted" coloured specimen (especially orange on the belly).

Again a big 4lined snake in situ...
