. Maybe it would be good to walk a bit slower, because the first snake I met was sunning itself and it was a young modras up to 30 cm and I was walking very fast then because I realized I had gone in the wrong direction, so I stopped one meter before it and quickly jumped back! But small snakes are okay, if you meet them you can still survive  , the devil is a bigger one... man, they are so ugly to me  ]]>

Completely fresh information that a specialist toxicologist said this week:
the only important things are rest and as quick as possible transport to the hospital. The affected limb we just immobilize, the wound we do NOT burn, do NOT suck the strip and in no case bandage above the bite site. This can only worsen the condition, never improve it.
If the descent is longer, call a helicopter! A short walk to the car in case of a hand bite is still acceptable.
There is no need at all to fear a bite, in recent years there have been no fatalities or severe reactions here. You go to hospital only for 2 days for observation, antidote is given only exceptionally to small children.
Snakes really won't drive us out of the mountains  ]]>

If properly shod (as befits mountains) and watch where we sit and poke, the chance of a bite is very small. And if we don't mistreat them!]]>

Sorry for the poor blindworms, which generally, due to hatred of snakes and their multitude, or because they live too close to humans, suffer the most.]]>

Asp viper (Vipera aspis), if I'm not mistaken.

Here I can't see well if it has a zig-zag pattern on its back, if it does then it's definitely a horned viper. Horned vipers are light brown, reddish or gray. And they are venomous too !!
Careful!!

I attached two more pictures. He took them with his mobile, so quality isn't great.

Hello.
I know about snakes so I'll comment on the pictures a bit:
-that dried one isn't a snake but a slowworm, which is a legless lizard. It differs from snakes by having eyelids on its eyes (snakes don't), to stick out its tongue it has to open its mouth (snakes have a hole in front), scales are different too, more like smooth skin.
-this other one is neither horned viper nor asp viper but a non-venomous smooth snake, which belongs to colubrids. Smooth snakes have two rows of dark spots on the back that can merge into a zigzag pattern, but it's not pronounced. It differs from viper and horned viper by being slender with a long evenly tapering tail (vipers and horned vipers are thicker relative to length, their tail narrows sharply and is short, horned vipers have a horn on the head and often reddish tail, back pattern is rhomboid, vipers have thick zigzag on back, head is distinctly thicker than body and triangular). Smooth snakes can be gray or brown.
Hope this helps.

viper. Horned viper has a characteristic horn at the end of the head, besides, it is larger than the viper. type "modras" into Google, and check the image in the results.

..Although in the end I'd even agree with Tomos, at least the first half of the answer. On the picture the head looks thickened to me, so I'm leaning towards it being venomous, non-venomous have slender heads; but the picture is unclear or my glasses are fooling me...Tomos is probably right....

Such a snake my 6-year-old daughter encountered in the yard and nobody believed her.
Once she claimed it was under the big "flower pot holder". When I lifted it there was a coiled snake at least over a meter long (identical to the photo). It also had a head like venomous ones (then I thought it was a little cobra) but I give "tomos" right that it's a smooth snake.
Probably moved to the yard because the house cat left mouse remains.
Carefully I caught it with a rake, grabbed the tail and took it to the nearby field.
Regards

Thanks for the replies. Son said the snake wasn't afraid at all. or rather it took a while for it to crawl off the path. I trimmed the pictures a bit, maybe it'll be visible better now. No hornlet on the head, so horned viper is out.
regards
