| Re: Adders and Common lizards
Hello Dave. Some thoughts came to me while reading your posts, so I am going to venture my opinion in my past experience. Adders tend to be in certain localites. Like little communities. So you could have a whole grassy forest, but they could only be in one spot, even though the whole place is suitable for them. I know a path called the adder path, I named it because I could go down there on a warm day and find up to eight of them bathing. But now, the adders have forsaken the path for some unknown reason. Snakes I find are hard to go out and find instantly, unless you have your eye on a certain bit of corrugated iron. But that is cheating to me. Lizards on the other hand, they can be found just like that *snaps fingers*. They don't seem to get abroad so much as snakes do. For this reason - turning back to your question about safe assumptions - I find that snakes are unpredictable to find. I almost always come across them by accident, and not always in the places I would mark them to be at.
