I don’t need locations, I’m going to be looking near Barcelona this weekend and was hoping for elevation advice!

They thrive well in all environment's from mountain's to scrubland steppe to deserts

I would say just stay below the tree line because you want trees because trees have nuts and nuts attract rodents but this appears a very diverse snake.

According to Juan Pleguezuelos, 70 percent of latastei records in Iberia are above 800 m.

Jeff and AEthelred Thanks so much, I ended up not seeing any. I hit three separate ranges, all gorgeous. Got a lot of help from Instagram as well. Looking forward to trying again, and both these notes are definitely helpful. THANK YOU!

Thanks very much for the reply! It is a very rare occurrence at FHF to receive a result when assistance is offered.
