The ladder snake (Rhinechis scalaris) is a species of non-venomous snake in the family Colubridae which is found in southwestern Europe.

As an adult the ladder snake is less variable than many related snake species, the basic colour goes from yellowish to dark brown, with two darker stripes running down the length of the body from neck to tail. It normally also has a dark stripe running from the rear of the eye to the angle of the jaw and sometime subtle, darker markings on the sides.
