Is that V. berus? I absolutely love all of the Vipera species. I will take a vacation over there just so I could get a picture of one someday. Post as many pics of them as you can take, I think they are the greatest little vipers!

 

[metallica]

yes, that is Vipera berus. the only venomous snake here in the Netherlands. luckely they are pretty abundant here.

Awesome Eddy! Thanks for sharing. That moth is spectacular. And the snake, well, no words could do those eyes justice.

Do you have any pictures of agilis habitat?
Interesting to see how it differs from swedish agilis habitat

Btw, nice shots of berus!

 

[metallica]

most agilis here are found in the dunes along the coast. i however live about 150 kn land inward. this is what it looks like. (note the enourmous dutch mountains!)

Any photo of swedish lacerta agilis?

Thanks for answer.

I soon wiil get some caucasian Lacerta agilis grusinica. I will post pic.

 

[Crotalus]

They are found in similar habitat in s. Sweden aswell as other habitat
Old shooting ranges and railroad tracks etc are also used by them, esp. for laying their eggs
