Yes this is male. Can you write somenthing about sexual dimorphism in colouration and pattern in this species? We have law that protect smooth snakes and their habitats, but it doesn't work. People are killing snakes and destroying their habitats and nobody cares it. We have only few herpetologist who are doing something to save this species. There are only 2 conservation programmes in some parts of country and it is to small. One of the problem are snake hunters, that are searching for snakes, catching and selling them (illegal of course). How to stop them? Noone of these hunters were seen during this proceder, so how to prove that he or she should be punished for breaking law? Some our populations of aesculapin snake almost extinct because of illegal hunting. Habitat of snake from photo is rocky place, very warm and dry, not a lot flora, I can write something more if you need, see this pics of this specimen habitat: In Poland smooth snakes lives in lowlands, rocky places like this, dry meadows and forest edges, pine forest and other habitats, usually habitat of this species is warm and dry. What part of Poland will you be visited? Invite to Bieszczady mountains in south east Poland, a lot adders and grass snakes live here, and maybe some aesculapian snake I apologize for my english :-)

In adult vipers so far I have seen small changes in colouration in one female, shes zigzag becames brighter, 2 years ago she had more brown pattern, this is she (photo made this year, I don't have pic how she looked before) Another example, male: photo made in 2007 and photo made one year later, in 2008: I don't see differences. there are differences between juveniles and adults, especially in colouration, but now I don't have particular data about it.

One female was gravid and here is my question: how to search juvenile smooth snakes? And how big are they when they are sexually mature? Any advice about smooth snakes searching and observations would be helpfull I apologize for my english :-)

I've heard that almost all melanistic adders had normal colouration when they were juveniles, but there are no melanistic individuals in my population so I couldn't check it (have to look into other population). I apologize for my english :-)

KorsÃ³s. 1999. Data on movements and thermal biology of grass snake (Natrix natrix L.) using radiotelemetry. Are there more publications?

This species is very rare in our country, we don't know well its distribution in Poland and some of its states become destroyed before somebody discoveres them. Smooth and aesculapian snake (I don't have its photographs, but I have seen it in nature) are in danger of extinction in Poland. This second speciec lives only in south Poland and we have only about 100 individuals of zamenis, so it is critical situation. I apologize for my english :-)
