Brave Berg Adder

Of all the days to find a snake out in the open, a chillingly cold Saturday morning did not seem to me to be the most likely. Nevertheless, this little adder seemed quite active. The guest who spotted it was much amused by my enthusiastic response to her exclamation of "Sh*t snake!!!".

Baby Bergie

Fairly nippy little Berg Adder I think. The adder shaped head has disappeared under Sally^s boot but the colouration is distinctive. Approximately 20cm long with pale stripes on its head.
