Snakes in Cyprus

Postby Great White » Thu Aug 24, 2006 4:47 pm

I am highly interested in snakes (and sharks as well). Does anyone know someone who's a specialist and with whom I could go hiking with looking/studying snakes ?

I've seen a beautiful viper in Akkamas last year and would love to see more.

I visited a snake park close to Paphos/Coral Bay and have visited a very small and extremely untidy snake place by the road to Latsi/Pomos (apparently belonging to the Herpetologic Society of Cyprus) but that's about it.

Any tips would be welcome.

It's weird you should ask that. There were two snake stories this month. A kid got bitten by Vipera Levantia, and a python was found under someone's car in Nicosia.

You could try contacting Nicosia police station to ask which snake expert they use in these cases, I'm pretty sure it's the one who owns the snake park you visited. There might be another one, though.

Hi Great Whale

> I visited a snake park close to Paphos/Coral Bay

Was that 'Snake George's' place? I understand he is the expert in Cyprus.
