Eventually, it lost interest and changed course.
Stephanie filmed the creepy encounter and shared it online in a post which attracted 16,000 views, as reported by Need To Know.
She wrote: “A boat trip is a good idea, they said… if you like swimming with snakes.”
The snake was spotted in Ses Balandres, a rocky cove on the west coast of Ibiza, Spain, in the municipality of Sant Antoni de Portmany.
According to local press, it is increasingly common to see snakes on the island.
Stephanie, who has lived in Ibiza since 2006, attracted a flurry of comments with her post.
Mandy joked: “Looks like my ex trying to get back into my life.”
Timotheus said: “Very important to kill it in the water. Why? Because Ibiza has exactly 24 sub species of lizards.
“If this snake reaches one sub island it’ll reach an entire 2 million year old sub species of very special lizards.
“One snake will easily eat all of them away on an island like Moon Beach or Murada or Ses Margalides.”
“Oops, not wanting that, even if they are mostly harmless,” added Graeme.
Michelle said: “Uuurghhh. We saw a much bigger one do the back stroke in our pool a while ago.
“We didn’t go in there for a month afterwards.”
“I won’t go into water anymore,” Espina added.
