is a Cypriot viper κουφή / οχιά / φίνα. It is poisonous but does not attack unless it senses danger. It fears humans more than humans fear it. Please do not harm it. It is a protected species and killing it will result in a fine. Get an expert to remove her.

That is a huge NOPE. Leave it alone as it would ruin your day, call a snake removal expert if you know where it is hiding at, so it can be removed & relocated.

A viper, the only poisons snake you’ll encounter in Cyprus. Please do not harm it as per other comments on this post but do call pest control. Also if you have any pets or children in the house, get them indoors ASAP

Seems like a viper – small though. Beware that may be other brothers/sisters ???

Levantine viper, beautiful and venomous. Best left alone and admired from a distance. Only snake species (out of 10) on Cyprus that is actually dangerous to humans. All medical facilities on the island carry anti-venom. Where did you find it? I hear they are most often found near shallow water in the north.

The bad one
I’m no expert but my guess would be a blunt nosed viper or the one snake of Cyprus which you should be wary of.
I know what it is (φίνα) very dangerous. Though if you get bit a night in the hospital and some antivenom will fix u right up.
Seems like a viper, but a very small one.
