It is mildly venomous. Its rear fangs, which sit towards the back of the mouth, make it less likely to inject venom, and the venom is of low toxicity. Venom can still be injected by bites from large individuals.1

The Montpellier snake is not dangerous to humans. Only a few cases of envenomation of people are known, and one of these happened when a finger was put into the snake's mouth. The venom is not very dangerous.1

Dintlha

Genetic evidence suggests it originated in the Maghreb and migrated into southwestern Europe between 83,000 and 168,000 years ago.1

2

It is often killed by cars and farmers, and it is sometimes used by snake charmers and sold as a curio.1

3

Its common, relatively mild persecution by people has helped it become one of the most common snakes across its range.1

Ho senya ditshomo

Tshomo: That the Montpellier snake is a dangerous snake for humans.
