There are only two poisonous species in Ukraine – common and steppe viper. All other Ukrainian snakes (ropes, skills and copper) are non -poisonous.

There are 5 species in Ukraine in Ukraine, and all non -toxic. The largest of them is Sarmatian, which you see in the photo. This species has a yellow abdomen, so it can be confused with a yellow -tailed plow. But a characteristic feature of Sarmatian is a striped pattern and a wide « mask » on the face. Instead, the yellow -headed plow is monochrome, without a pattern.

What is the handsome with blue spots?
Beza frog
The photo is a male spindle. The spindle is often confused with the snake, but in fact it is a leaky lizard. It can be recognized by the head, as in a lizard, a blunt tail, a shiny and smooth body. Males have blue spots and females – striped and almost monochrome. Also in Ukraine there is another type of legless lizards – a yellow -leaf that lives in Crimea. Legs are peaceful and do not pose a threat – do not kill them, but better admire from afar.
