The yellow-bellied, or Caspian, snake (Dolichophis caspius) is the largest Crimean snake, specimens 2 m long are not uncommon. He has slightly bulging eyes, smooth scales. The body is dark (brown, olive, copper, sometimes black), and the abdomen is bright yellow or orange. There are yellow spots above the eyes.
The snake is not venomous, but quite aggressive. May bite without warning. The bite heals in a couple of days, the bite site is disinfected and bandaged, serum injections or painkillers are not needed. It is not recommended to walk with children in dense bushes or through vineyards.
P.S. I'm not sure about the correct translation of snake species. If wrong, please let me know.
