Natrix natrix (Linnaeus, 1758)

Natrix natrix persa (Pallas, 1814)

First reported for “Leucade” by Ondrias (1968: 123), the Grass Snake is also reported in recent papers (Broggi, 1994: 32; Schmid, 2019: 73, 77). We found it near the Marantochori lake (23/5/2019, Fig. 3C ) and between Kortata and Exantheia (26/5/2019). There is a single citizen science record from near Vasiliki (20/8/2018).
