I should know better.

That little adder that I rescued today - well decided to do a scale-count; yes thats right it got me - on the little finger. That was 1130 this morning I now have a rigid finger, but thats' all.

Larger adders are easier to deal with, you can at least tube them, it is a very kind way to handle them - I never never never 'neck them, easiest way to damage a snake, even large vipers like bushmasters.

The worse to handle are the little 'uns like Echis - just need lots of different size tubes.

The finger is already back to normal - the effect was just local.

Thanks for your concern all
