Hello!
I have an odd question. I have been trying to find out a species of snake and have been having no luck whatsoever. So here I come to ask!
I am looking for a species of water-snake from the North Africa area which has markings similar to this old Egyptian illustration of Apep, the snake god:

He is usually depicted with these same markings, black head (with a white jaw), stripes/diamonds going part way down his back (but not full rings), small black spots on his side.
My question is thus: Do you know of any species of water snake from this region that looks anything like this? Or alternatively, ANY species of water snake from Egypt?
Thank you for your time!
Muchly appreciated,
~ Kenket
