I go with dd's suggestion.
I am 90% sure it is a Ptyas mucosus due to the coloration and very long and slender tail. Also, Ptyas mucosus is fairly frequently imported to Europe. A better photo would definitely be helpful for a more acurate identification, though. Ptyas mucosus can grow to over 10 ft. making them one of the largest Colubrid.
