The Eastern Hog-nosed Snake is often mistakenly referred to as a Cobra or a Puff Adder, though neither of these venomous species occur in Canada, and the hog-nosed snake is harmless to humans. Road mortality is a threat to this species, especially in southern Ontario where road density and traffic volume are high.

$The Caspian whipsnake (Dolichophis caspius, sometimes also Coluber caspius) also known as the large whipsnake (among various other species in genus Dolichophis/Coluber), is a common species of whipsnake found in the Balkans and parts of Eastern Europe.\nDescription:\nThe Caspian whipsnake is perhaps the largest species of snake in Europe. It typically grows to around 140–160 cm in length, though a few may exceed a length of 200 cm. The record sized specimen was approximately 250 cm. Body mass can be commonly from 120 to 673 g. This species is not venomous and is mostly active during the day. The head is joined to the body by a thick neck. Its pupils are round. Nineteen rows of smooth scales can be found at the middle body, though rarely there may be seventeen. Dorsal scales each have two apical pits at the posterior edge. The center of the scale is lighter in colour than the edges. The dorsal side is grey-brown and features markings which are distinctive in juveniles and young snakes but fade with age. The ventral side is light yellow or white (source Wikipedia).\n\nThis Picture is made during a Vacation in Bulgaria in May 2018.$

$The dice snake (Natrix tessellata) is a Eurasian nonvenomous snake belonging to the family Colubridae, subfamily Natricinae. It is also called water snake.\nBrief description\n\nIllustration of dice snake (top) and grass snake (Natrix natrix) including underside\nFemales are bigger than males. Their typical size is 1.0–1.3 m long. Their color may vary from greyish green to brownish or almost black, with dark spots on the back. The belly is sometimes vividly coloured in yellow or orange, with black spots, very similar to dice, hence the name. \nBiology:\nLiving mainly near rivers, streams and lakes, it frequently feeds on fish. Sometimes, it feeds also on amphibians such as frogs, toads, and tadpoles. \nClassified as nonvenomous, N. tessellata produces a potent antihemorrhagin in its serum[4] and has been said to produce a neurotoxin through a gland in its mouth.[5] As a defence, it spreads a very bad-smelling secretion from its cloaca. Another defence mechanism is thanatosis, playing dead. \nDuring the mating season (March–May), they congregate in large groups. Egg-laying is usually in July, and one clutch consists of 10–30 eggs. The young snakes hatch in early September. \nDice snakes hibernate from October to April in dry holes near the water. \nDistribution:\nThe dice snake is found throughout much of Eurasia: Afghanistan, Albania, Armenia, Austria, Azerbaijan, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, China, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, France, Georgia, Germany, Greece, Hungary, India, Iran, Iraq, Israel, Italy, Jordan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Lebanon, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Pakistan, Poland,[6] Romania, Russia, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Switzerland, Syria, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Turkey, Ukraine, Uzbekistan, and Yemen. The species is also present in Egypt (source Wikipedia).\n\nThis Picture is made during a Vacation in Bulgaria in May 2018.$
