    The fellow is upside down.

    In Sweden there are only three snakes: The smooth snake/Hasselsnok, the grass snake/Snok and the adder/Hug(g)orm.

    The Snok is a bright one.

      Not upside down - this is a juvenile, and they have these markings. Females may retain them, but adult males will lose the darker markings.

      Slow worms are legless lizards rather than snakes. They have eyelids, unlike snakes, for example.
