Hello, A friend of mine contacted me about a snake they almost stepped on while hiking in the mountains near Grenoble, France. Unfortunately, I have no pictures of the snake, just a sketchy description. I was hoping that someone might be able to suggest possible species based on my description below and the region. Sure wish I had a picture! Anyway the snake was described to me as follows:

~ 1 meter long

~ 1 inch in diameter

-brownish in color with dark brown/black bands running normal to the length of the snake

-I asked him about the head of the snake, and showed him the difference between coulumbrid and viper heads. He said it looked more like a coulumbrid (did not have a pronounced "V" head).





Not a big deal, but if anyone has any idea of the type of snake and possible a picture, please post! Curiousity has really got the best of me on this one!

Thanks

Jesse Walters
