Found a snake skin in the garden the other day then spotted this snake in the garden later on this week ,curious to know what it is and dangerous or not ? Tia
Looks like a Ladder Snake. Not too poisonous! Snakes in Spain are not very venomous.
Mmmmm.
Very well spotted & very interesting.
Don't think it is a Ladder snake.
Could be Smooth snake or a Southern Smooth snake according to the website & pictures below.

It looks a bit like an asp viper, has similar markings. If it is, it’s poisonous. Good for getting rid of rats though!
You get a liquid to keep snakes away from the house……maybe you already know this.

Hi
Have had several types , but will take your advice and see about the liquid for keeping them away , someone recommended vinegar or ammonia will see what ls most enviro friendly too thanks again alec 👍
Ferreterías sell the liquid, smells like tarmac. You put it in little containers on each side of house, like a windowsill or beside a doorway, and the smell does the trick. No harm to the snakes ……or you!
Thanks will give it a try 👍
