Female Adder, (Vipera berus) UK

How long is she?

I didn't measure her but I would have said she had to be 30", maybe slightly more (75cm+ in new money), if she's there next time I am I'll get an accurate figure. It wasn't so much her langth that got me though, she was just really broad and muscular, in really good condition - especially considering she'd have just emerged from hibernation probably no more than a week prior.

Yeah that's a pretty big adder.

cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Question: How toxic is the venom of Vipera Berus relative to other vipers? You never can find anything out about this species because books never say anything about them other than that they have the largest geographic dispersement of any snake.
