There is an island full of venomous and non-venomous snakes in Europe. It is called Golem Grad and it is on Lake Prespa. Living Zoology went to film this very remote place and found venomous Nose-horned vipers (Vipera ammodytes), Dice snakes (Natrix tessellata), Hermann's tortoises (Testudo hermanni) and Common wall lizards (Podarcis muralis). The island is also home to many birds, such as cormorants and pelicans. Vipers are smaller than on the mainland, Dice snakes are huge! No people live on the island, it is the snake paradis

I've just booked my mother-in-law a flight there, I really hope she has a good time, she deserves it.

Beautiful photography! And I bow to the person(s) who had the courage to go film this!
-
For those of you who were wondering (like me) where the hell the island is located, it is in northern Macedonia - located in Lake Prespa, a few kilometers from the Greek and Albanian border.

absolutely breathtaking footage of incredible reptiles. The quality of your content is right up there with the best. Thank you very much for this education
-
I concur with others; another superb video in terms of the videography, the capture of the natural behavior of the subjects, and the informative narrative. Your work is in a class of its own. Indeed, I think the sole criticism is that your videos are too short, leaving the audience wanting more!

No human voice, it's always divine to be in nature

What a beautiful safe haven for the little snakies! 🥰🥰🥰 Its peaceful, where the snakes can have a place to call their own! Not a bunch of humans around to bother them! I love it😇🐍🦋🌸🌺🌻🌷⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Great job... Thanks for informing this unique beautiful island 😍
-
Yet another beautifully shot and presented video. I do wonder if the venom of v. ammodytes from the island has been analysed and compared to mainland specimens. If the snakes have adapted to grow smaller due to a limited and non-mammalian (specifically ectothermic prey, if I understand correctly), it would make little sense for them to invest in a potent venom most suited for mammals and birds.

leaving some reptile love here ❤️🐍🦎🐢❤️ what a stunningly beautiful place 😍
-
Beautiful video - as always! Marvellous that the animals can live there without human interference.
-
This was like the next best thing to being there ; with the natural noises in the background. If it would have been narrated by one of those robotic voices I think I would have pulled the last of my hair out. This was brilliant!; well done.
-
Cool. I always thought that the snake island off the coast of Brazil was the only one.
-
Great video as usual I love your passion for snakes.
-
Macedonia my country. ❤
-
Great film! I truly enjoyed it. However, I noticed there are no warning signs!!!! A tourist boating by may think it's a wonderful place for a picnic or swim. The original snake island that has the golden lance snake. Has signs all over and it doesn't even have a beach

Top Channel and high Quality. And only nature is speaking very relaxing at all. Is the amodytes viper also called jumping viper?
