Leopard Snake
Zamenis situla
The leopard snake is an egg-laying snake of southeastern Europe and the eastern Mediterranean region. Adults usually have black-edged reddish dorsal blotches on a pale gray ground, although striped animals occur naturally. It is maintained in specialist hobby collections. Housing needs secure floor space, retreats, some climbing cover, water and a controlled thermal gradient matched to its temperate origin. Older records may use the name Elaphe situla.
