    Real hard to find alive, almost only road kills although they are not uncommon... Posted 10 years ago

    Im in Valencia Spain trying very hard to find snakes and such in the area. I was down in Cullera and saw a Horseshoe whip snake and I think a Ladder snake but I'm struggling. Any tips? Posted 10 years ago

      Hi, look for this species from sunrise to evening in the blazing sun. The Montpellier snake loves heat!
      And if you find one, be careful! They hate every humans :D !!!

The Montpellier snake

Malpolon monspessulanus, commonly known as the Montpellier snake, is a species of mildly venomous rear-fanged colubrids. It is up to 2.00 metres (7 ft) long and may weigh up to 1.5 kilograms (3 lb). Although it is venomous, only a few cases of envenomation of humans are known, one of which occurred when a finger was inserted into the snake's mouth.
