Seen in Corfu - unfortunately looked freshly killed by the side of the road. Thought it would be interesting to chart the process of decay and see just how many creatures would benefit from 'free meat'

Gruesome as it may be, thank you for documenting this. I don't think I've ever seen the spine of a snake like that! Posted 5 years ago

  I know exactly what you mean. Everybody I have spoken to was surprised at the number of bones the snake has. Posted 5 years ago
