It might be a Grass Snake but that's a bit of a guess on my part.

I found what was a beautiful Smooth Green snake at work that someone murdered. Sad It saddens me some ignorant people kill every snake they see.


Yes. Should be Grass Snake. Some natrix for sure.
Fear and bad reputation (for no reason) are the main reason for killing them. The elders teach the children to kill them without mercy. Unfortunately, I was raised that way too, but when I overcame my fear a couple of years ago, I started rescuing them and taking them to the swamp away from people and domestic animals. Now if someone close to me sees a snake they don't kill it at first sight but call me to try to catch it. Smiling
Even worse is that we have a legless lizard that often dies because people mistake it for a snake, and it is very useful because it sometimes feeds on venomous snakes.
