| | RAUK e-Forum: Anguis cephallonica???????? |
 | | I'd say that it is a very old Anguis, most other people i have shown the photograph to agree with me. I am only seventeen and have only visited Greece over the last few years for reptiles, just wondering if anyone else has seen such a specimen. |
 | | This has to be Anguis cephallonica because (1) there's no fragilis around on Cephalonnia and (2) the longer snout (literally) points towards cephallonica too and (3) furthermore the coloration is very similar to the ones I have seen on the Peloponnese and in pictures. |
 | | Since then have seen quite a few Anguis cephallonica on Kefallinia and Zakynthos, although non of the animals i have seen have quite had that head proportion although the heads on most have been visibly longer than those of Anguis fragilis. |
