Turkish snake (1 Viewer)

Hi all,

bit of a punt I know but I wonder if some-one could help me ID a snake that we saw in our garden in SW Turkey. It was about 2 foot long, very thin it had a light to mid green head and a lighter green/yelowish body. I only saw it very briefly as it slithered/snaked very quickly across and out of our garden.

The most distinctive thing for me was how slender it was, it was very thin.

Sounds like Platyceps najadum or Platyceps collaris.
