Laffa, as much as we'd love to meet you, I suggest you stay away from Uzumlu ! We got some nasty little wotsits up there ! My daughter was walking in the Olive grove right next to our house and almost trod on a Viper - evil looking little B*gger that was. Needless to say, she hasn't been in the olive groves since. Always see a lot of black ones squashed on the road too ! Seen a few scorpions around the pool too......makes you wonder why I love the place so much really....[xx(]

hi Wingnut

The funny little bridge is very close to where we have an apartment. Were the snakes still in the water, or were they wriggling along the grass? I will make sure we wear heavy footwear if they appear on dry land!

hi Wingnut, as far as I know there are three types on snakes indigenous to the area, the brown and cream/yellow one is a viper and is venomous (straight to hospital) It has a sort of 'flat' head. There is also a black (on top)and white/cream belly, not sure about this one but the local farmers do kill it. There is also a pure dark grey/black one which, I believe, is a rat snake. Can't do you much harm but I would still avoid . Hope this helps

Oooh, I don't like this thread very much - I hate snakes. And frogs. And even worms! Hope I don't see any - I'll be the one wearing wellies from now on, just in case!!!
