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.
