I think most snakes in Cyprus are not poisonous. But I don't know about the one you saw. I am not an expert in snakes

In January? What were you smoking?

I agree with devil, im not sure how a snake would be out and about at this time of year. Did it have criss crosses on its back, diamond shapes?. If it didnt its not poisonous. Im thinking it could be a breed of lizard that is long and has tiny legs, there is such a thing and i know its brown.

Strange. My mum saw a brown snake in Limassol last week. She too was surprised due to the time of year, but the winter has apparently been so mild so far that this brown species may not have gone into hibernation or whatever they do.
