Eirenis levantinus


Eirenis levantinus is a species of snake in the family Colubridae.
It is found in Lebanon, Syria, and Turkey, and was rediscovered on Cyprus in 2007 ~150 years after the first report. Its natural habitats are Mediterranean-type shrubby vegetation, plantations, and rural gardens.
It is threatened by habitat loss.
They are insectivores and are among the few snakes that eat a diet consisting entirely of insects and worms. In the wild, they consume a variety of prey such as crickets, moths, grasshoppers, caterpillars, fly larvae, spiders, and worms.
