Guess my monitor isn`t all that calibrated, cause that`s one beautiful pink Smooth Snake!

That's one amazing Coronella!! Since 3 weeks I'm walking in Coronella habitats and I have encountered a subsequent number now, but only the regular grey or brown specimens. I never found one snake as bright as the one you are showing here. But look at this one:

Not bad either..

Exactly!

Wow ! Really reddish !
I found this one in Pyrénées, by night.

I, too, in south Italy, Apulia, near Monopoli (Ba) I found two Coronelle really red, but unfortunately I did not have the camera

Here's a red girondica from Portugal

The belly was pretty "normal" I'm afraid, pale off-white with dark markings. Definitely best viewed from above

here are two scans (same specimen) from slides from Weitwörth ( a few km north of town Salzburg), shot on May 2nd, 1992. nearly adult male (approx. 45 - 50 cm)




Mario

Some nice looking snakes!

Here's a juvenile that's a lot similar to Mario's individual - red belly and normal dorsal.

that is typical for juveniles!
they lose the red belly if they get adult.

ok,I also attach a funky yellow one
yes, I was to lazy and missed to make a real pic
