Thanks.
Yes, some sort of parrot snake is what I thought, but I was hoping to find out which type. I saw a photo on line of a Bronzeback parrot snake, but it wasn't the same.
Here are two more photos, that for some reason I couldn't add last time.

Count down to picture number 12. This is the closest match I could find. Unfortunately, not named. Maybe just as well. I think the picture below it is misidentified. It looks like a Vine Snake vs a Parrot Snake.
You might try contacting your "neighbors" near Grecia here:

Thanks. I will contact those in Grecia....although, not our 'immediate neighbor'.
Our English mastiff was bitten by an unknown snake a month ago, on his neck, which result in temporarily paralyzing his tongue. It wasn't an immediately apparent, so at first he was off his food for a couple of days, then his tongue swelled up and he couldn't move it all. The vet prescribed antibiotics and after a few days, a 3" hole appeared on his throat, where he had been bit. The 'hole' is now an inch in diameter, and my husband has to clean it twice daily....and is eating 'normally' again.
Again, we have no idea what species of snake was responsible.
