What snake am I?

Living in Oran, Algeria (coastal, scrub/forest, ~ 300m altitude). My best guess is southern smooth snake, but I'm not really convinced. Thanks, Henry^Flower 20:21, 26 October 2018 (UTC)

Or Western_false_smooth_snake. Ruslik_Zero 20:52, 27 October 2018 (UTC)

It's hard (for me, at least) to tell the difference from this angle; unfortunately I didn't get much of the face. Henry^Flower 07:50, 28 October 2018 (UTC)

Perhaps a Montpellier snake, presumably the insignitus sub-species from the location. Mikenorton (talk) 09:11, 28 October 2018 (UTC)

Thanks -- I'll have a look at that one too. Henry^Flower 18:08, 1 November 2018 (UTC)
