12/5/2020; 22 °C; cloudy humid afternoon on the hills near my hometown.
Not a very common species to be found outside.
At first I thought it could be a leopard snake or a young quatuorlineata/longissimus: but then I realized I was not in Croatia and that it was a beautiful male girondica, with a reddish dorsal hue and a yellow/black checkered belly.
The first pictures are all "in situ" ones.
