Thanks, that is also my favorite.
It is difficult to post picture's of a field research because all animals need to be caught for data. So you can see gloves on a lot of picture's.
And of course I don't want to give people the idea that you can just pick them up (venomous). In The Netherlands it is an protected and endangered species. There are still people that kill these snakes for their skin or because there afraid of them. _________________ Proud owner of

Fantastic photos! There's nothing like seeing Vipera berus in their natural habitat  _________________ You can't trust the snake......but you can always trust the snake to be a snake. |
