From 28 July to August 8, I will do another grand tour.
How would you say chances are to find snakes on Krk in that time of year? Waste of breath?

I also think species like ammodytes will be very hard, but if you herp at night you maby can find Telescopus fallax or Zamenis situla.
Good luck!

Marc I think you are right. I remember finding Telescopus fallax at night by accident on Cyprus and it was summer.

just stand up in the morning, so you are ~8:00 in the field or a bit earlier. I think starting at dawn will not be better.
We found 4lineatas there in August at around 10:00 or so, also ammos.

Hi J.,
We just came back from our family holiday in Croatia. We found most snakes very early or very late eg 3 ammos: 07.10, 21.05 and ca. 18.50 after rain.
Longissima at 06.10!
Gemonensis, natrix and tessellata all day.
Good luck

Also working on a report but we managed to find several N.natrix and T.fallax at night on Krk. We tried in daytime on our last morning (7:30-9:30) during a 2 hours herping session where we missed a huge E.quatuorlineata hiding under a very big rock and found 7 H.gemonensis. Not that bad for 2 hours I suppose.
