Aleksandar’s => Natrix natrix
Edvard’s => Hierophis gemonensis

Just risking to prove being a total idiot, or a "pain in the ass", may I remind you that what we're discussing
are two different photos of two (most probably) different snakes, from different sources... So, even if they
might happen to be of the same species (which I don't believe), the individuals shown here are not one and
the same... Or have I perhaps missed something that's obvious to everybody else around here but me?!
So, please, puh-leez, just take the trouble of stating clearly which of the two offered riddles you actually
refer to... Thank you.

I go for the first picture of course, the second one obviously is a gemonensis :lol:

But don't worry I still don't think you're a "total idiot" !

But to be honnest, I don't think I'm right with my gemonensis on Aleksandar's picture as the snake looks wet = Natrix natrix. But it's too late to change my mind ahah

Don't be too sure - there's these weird-looking caspius at times. I remember one (DOR?) from a herpetofauna.at report, I think.

I'm almost sure Edvard posted it to illustrate why he was thinking of H.gemonensis (so his picture may be one of his gemonensis pictures).

And I found this: https://www.flickr.com/photos/edvardmiz ... ateposted/

Cheater!

I'll admit that gemo was more likely than caspius (cf. my own guess).

Jeroen, I think you have been thinking on this one

Hierophis gemonensis, "baby", Montenegro.
I've seen similar near Amfissa, Greece and near Dubrovnik (last location definitively out of the range of caspius).

Probably, so in that case I was wrong and it's also a gemonensis.

It seems to me that the time is ripe for A. S. to reveal who's the lucky winner.
Well, Sale?
(If it's really a gemo, then, where? Montenegro or... could it be Pčinja?)
