This thesis is focused on explaining the behaviour of population of Aesculapian Snake (Zamenis longissimus) in Poohří region related to a busy road which crosses its area of distribution. To avoid the busy road Aesculapian Snake uses the roads culverts to cross the road safely. Snakes used culverts the most often on July, when their activity culminates. One of the most used culverts was culvert Nr. 2, probably because of its proximity to man-made hatch. Snakes started their activity at 8:00 a.m. and finished at 7:00 p.m. In this study their activity culminates between 4:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. and by temperature between 21 - 25°C. None of adults of Aesculapian Snake was detected killed on the road. There were found only juvenile snakes of this species which weren't acquainted yet with local threats.
