Brit holidaymakers warned to be on red alert as snakes wake up for the summer
Spain have been told to be on red alert as the country's snakes up wake up for the season.Mallorca, one of the most popular destination with Brits, will see snakes become more common between May and July as the serpents look for the ideal nesting place. Last year, several snakes were spotted on the beach in Calvia and Andratx on the island that flanks Ibiza."This is their gestation time, so they are looking for the ideal nesting place," says Vanessa Rubio, biologist at the Consorci per a la Recuperació de la Fauna de les Illes Balears, or COFIB."In May, June and July snakes are more active so people are more likely to see them, especially if it's hot," she says.
