I'm very interested in early sightings of new born Adders this year. I guess we're a little early just yet, but please post any diddy Adder sightings!

Can't be long now...surely?

Cheers

In 2004 I had the first neonates in Essex between 4th and 9th August so they should be around pretty soon!

Steve,

First neo adder on my local patch in west Dorzett was last Friday, 11th August. 1 young'un basking on an overcast day between rain showers. Interestingly the area was one not used by gravid females all summer. Also, has anyone else noticed the relationship between weather and birth? Adders and vip. lizards on this site both gave birth on or just after high pressure, thundery nights. I've also seen this with captive bred water snakes, Nerodia. Any thoughts? Hope this helps,

Ian


Cheers, Ian
