The European Cat Snake (Telescopus fallax) is also known as the Mediterranean cat snake and can reach a length of up to 100cm. The species is venomous, but because it is rear-fanged (fangs are located at the back of the upper jaw), it rarely injects its venom in defensive biting and is therefore considered no threat to humans. It occurs in Corfu and other areas of Greece and can be found in open and scrubby country including beaches and open woodlands.
