There are, I believe, 8 snake species on the island of which I think 3 are venomous but only one is dangerous, the Blunt-nosed Viper, Vipera lebetina. This can be mortal but, even if you don't die, it causes a lot of damage to the system.

This little beastie is front-fanged with retractible fangs up to 25-30 mm long and is very fast to strike if cornered or injured.

The other 2 are back-fanged colubridae and you would have to put your little finger in their mouth and let them chew on it before you would get a dose of venom. They are therefore harmless to humans. Notwithstanding, their venom is very potent. Other non-venomous species, such as the Black Whip Snake, can also cause problems if they bite, as the mouths are hotbeds of infection and could introduce harmful bacteria into the body, although this is rare.

While on the subject, never, ever, kill a snake. They are all highly protected species and do much more good than harm.

As for scorpions on a beach, this sounds very unlikely. I would suggest they were more likely to be a crustacean, rather than an arachnid, perhaps young spiny lobsters.

There's only one species of dangerous (read venomous) spider to be found on the island, scientifically classified as the "Arachnofanos Droushotious" or "Fani" for short so if you ever see one DO NOT HANDLE IT but simply squash it with the nearest slipper...
