Hi I have seen a jet black snake about 1 meter long in the garden would anyone know if its poisonous. I tend to leave it alone and it disappears after about 10 minutes, once found one dead in the pool. I am in Mojacar Playa area. Many thanks if anyone has some information

Your description (large, blackish) fits that of the Montpellier snake. It is venomous but its fangs are, apparently, located far back in the mouth so are unlikely to puncture human skin .
