*Vipera berus*, or the common adder. The UK’s only venomous snake.
Beautiful thing – I haven’t seen one since I was a kid.
Beautiful Adder! I see lots of Grass snakes but I’ve only ever seen one Adder, and it’s not for the want of trying either!
Where is this, I’ve not seen an adder since I was 9, over 30 years ago.
Great spot. I have never been lucky enough to see one
A Cunning Plan is surely not far away!
Come to where I work, you’ll find a lot of snakes there
Hmmm something about this doesn’t add up
I’m not scared of snakes but I think this would give me quite a fright if I stumbled upon it
can it kill you ?
Oooh it’s an adder, lucky you
Lovely Boa Constrictor there!!
Viper. How cool not seen one in years.
Can kill, unlikely but can
We get them in the garden. My neighbour’s dog was bitten and sadly died.
Hey – you got the head! I’ve seen adders a few times, and every time it’s been the tail, vanishing into the undergrowth.
Great shot!
My cat once caught a snake. No idea how, no idea when. Got back and there was a near-dead snake lying next to my cat.
Seen quite a few while walking in the hills, terrifying😂 great photo tho!
Gorgeous! You’re very lucky 🤩
Danger noodle. Do not yoink
Heather + Adder + Sun = Dorset?
I saw a snake swimming in the little river at Hughenden Manor. (High Wycombe / bucks) I thought I was high. I haven’t seen a native snake before or since.
Something doesn’t add up here
Where was this ?
An Adder as well! Lovely! I’ve only ever seen one, briefly as one of the people I was with wailed like a wild banshee at first sight of it and it snuck off into the bushes… 🙄
I used to see a few around a village called Storrington, the Warren there is full of British wildlife.
Gorgeous!
Was bitten by one whilst walking the dog, red lumps up my arms and legs itchy as fuck, a rash from my ankle where I was bitten up my right leg that was leaking puss, both feet were swollen like bricks and completely square.
Funny thing is I didn’t feel it, my legs started tingling and we found 2 fang marks on my ankle. I couldn’t walk for a week and a half and was pretty much housebound hobbling along.
KILL KILL KILL KILL DIE DIE DIE
Joking but not joking I seriously am terrified of snakes
