Re: Vipera Berus

I had no idea there were adders in Finland, or any snakes for that matter!

Re: Vipera Berus

Great looking snakes. Snakes generally don't go onto the snow and ice, its always interesting to see a snake in that situation.

Nice shots of a beautiful animal! There is nothing better than viewing a wild animal go about its business.

It is the same species of adder, known as Vipera berus. It's one of the most widely spread snake in the world.

Re: Vipera Berus

That's the only venomous snake that's ever bitten me .
I'm glad it's a weak venom. I got bitten in Spain. I didn't know they were so wide spread either. Especially in the UK! That's wild. I imagine that's something that smuggled it's way onto ships a few hundred years back? I don't think the species would be so old that it was on the British Isles before they broke off from Europe kajillions of years ago.
