 |
|
This adders mouth looked odd so we caught it and checked it out.
And yes those are lots of teeth marks on my hand....from GTP's!!
Dont try this at home kiddies!!!
Closer still and a fang drops out
Found a nice male
A heavenly day out, thanks to Ian and Julie for assistance!!!

The pic of the male adder is amazing! What techniques do you use to capture adders out of interest? (Not planning anything! )

Lots of patience and of course 30 years of playing with adders......three bites and one week of hospital treatment also come into it.
As the old addage goes.. play with fire and you will eventually get burned!!!!
Some more images for recent work with adders.
A female
A nice male
Enjoy!

| You cheated us here and used the same pic twice! Great shots though. Are they not much disturbed by your presence or do they like to take off on sight? |
