Great image mate. I didn't know adders would be active at this time of year, or at least this weather.

Hi Alan, Fourwings and thank you !
Male adders emerge around mid-late febuary and the females follow a week or two later.
thanks again

Excellent shot - I can't believe you took this with a close up lens! You must have been inches from him!!? Very brave! You were rewarded with a great shot.

Stunning shot of a really beautiful creature.
We have only had a few of these into the centre and each time we handle with EXTREME caution.
We also have them in the forest where I live and actually once (didn't have a camera then) saw 4 young adders sunbathing. They were quite small so maybe they had just been born?
I really don't know a lot about adders, other than they are extremely difficult to treat in captivity.

Hi Jo, thanks for the kind words
Can you remember what time of year you saw the four together? Adders often gather together at the hibernaculums.
If you ever get reptiles at the centre and need a helping hand don't hesitate to contact me, I'd be more than pleased to help out
All the best Jo,
Al
