by Mark Robert Loftesnes - 17/1/2010 15h50

Hi :D! Yes.. i have googled it.. didnt come up with a shit (a)so i just wonder.. our holiday this year goes to Croatia.. some of the places we will be is on island Korcula, in the old town "Korcula". And on island Brac (Bol). Does anyone know if there are any snakes there? (Wall lizards and turkish geckos are NOT a problem, as i saw last year xD)

Of course, that on islands of HR live snakes :-) Generally most abundant is Hierophis gemonensis, in Korčula and Brač live also Elaphe quatuorlineata, Telescopus fallax, Vipera ammodytes, Malpolon monspessulanus insignitus, Platyceps najadum, very probably also Elaphe situla, E. longissima and N. natrix. Some useful info you can gain on www.balcanica.info

I found an interesting pdf-file about the distribution of the reptiles, amphibians and mammals on the larger croatian islands:

"Biogeography of small terrestrial vertebrates on the Adriatic landbridge islands"
http://www.ivb.cz/folia/56/3/225-234_MS1326.pdf

The known species of both Korcula and Brac are listed.
