Hi, I live in Denmark and we got natrix natrix, vipera berus, and very seldomly Elaphe longissima.

There are only two species, Natrix natrix and Vipera berus.

Historically, a relict population of Zamenis (Elaphe) asculaepius was found in favourable micro-climates in Southern Zealand around one hundred years ago.

Coronella austriaca also used to be widespread. It is last recorded from Jutland in the 1930's. It is just possible that it still occurs in suitable habitat in Jutland.
