Photographed at Corfu Pantokrator: I am undecided between a young Dolicophis caspius and Hierophis gemonensis ....

Hi Francesco,

definetively Hierophis gemonensis!

Dolichophis caspius has markings more like bars on the back.
Doesnt look like a chessboard, like gemonensis.
Also the "white ring" around the eye is not so pronounced in caspius.
See picture:
