Portrait of a juvenile Hierophis gemonensis / Balkan-Zornnatter / Balkan whip snake.

An adult Balkan green lizard / Riesensmaragdeidechse / Lacerta trilineata. Always a bit tricky to photograph because because they keep their distance.

And a juvenile Balkan green lizard / Riesensmaragdeidechse / Lacerta trilineata.

Another one.

The three dorsal stripes of the juveniles give the species its Latin name (trilineata).

The juveniles are easier to photograph, and honestly very sweet :-)

Those I somehow like especcially: blue-throated keeled lizard / Pracht-Kieleidechse / Algyroides nigropunctatus.

In early spring adult Balkan green lizard / Riesensmaragdeidechse / Lacerta trilineata are easier to photography, because they don't act that shy and bask quite exposed.

The most common lizards in human-influenced areas: the Italian wall lizard / Ruineneidechse / Podarcis siculus.

And because they are common and easy to snap - tons of pictures from the Italian wall lizard / Ruineneidechse / Podarcis siculus.

Always happy to see them on excursions, because they are somewhat special: Pseudopus apodus / European glass lizard / Scheltopusik.

Snake! Elaphe quatuorlineata / four-lined snake / Vierstreifennatter. Also typical for the coastal region of Croatia.

That's one of the rarer findings - a juvenile Pseudopus apodus / European glass lizard / Scheltopusik.

And another Italian wall lizard / Ruineneidechse / Podarcis siculus, as you can guess there were many of them. :-)

Finally! A Dalmatian wall lizard / Karstläufer / Podarcis melisellensis

Also that should be a Dalmatian wall lizard / Karstläufer / Podarcis melisellensis.

Always happy to see one of those: Euscorpius sp.

Surely the highlight of the trip - Zamenis situla / leopard snake / Leopardnatter!
