Western whip snake (Hierophis viridiflavus)

Key feature: black with yellow spots on the body

Viperine snake (Natrix maura)

Key feature: zig zag dorsal pattern

Note: 2 observations suggest it's presence in Corsica (Fons & al. 1991), but in both cases, it is certain that the specimens were either imported by accident from Sardinia or escaped captivity. For this reason this species is not considered as part of the Corsican fauna since no other observations since have been made.
