Field Notes

Description:

A young Dahl’s Whip Snake (Platyceps najadum), rescued from the attack of 2 cats, at a friend's veggie garden. I managed to scare the cats away, catch the snake and remove it from the area...It was so cute (and harmless)!!!

Notes:

The species is protected by the Greek law
