The Nose-horned viper (Vipera ammodytes) is one of the most venomous snakes of Europe (it lives mostly on Balkan peninsula). It is the first venomous snake species we found together in the wild and we have it in our Living Zoology logo. Nose-horned vipers have long fangs and their bite can potentially kill a human. This viper is very beautiful! Our friend David from the USA came to visit us in Europe and his main target snake species to see was of course the Nose-horned viper! Join us on the trail of this venomous snake (Poskok in Croatian language) in Croatia! We found 9 species of snakes, so be ready for an adventure full of snake encounters!
Species found:
Four-lined snake (Elaphe quatuorlineata)
Grass snake (Natrix natrix)
Western whip snake (Hierophis viridiflavus carbonarius)
Leopard snake (Zamenis situla)
European cat snake (Telescopus fallax)
Aesculapian snake (Zamenis longissimus)
Balkan whip snake (Hierophis gemonensis)
Eastern Montpellier snake (Malpolon insignitus)
Nose-horned viper (Vipera ammodytes)

    Congrats. We sometimes forget to mention our species of Europe because we are attracted by more exotic species. But we have in Europe amongst most spectacular species not for size but for patterns. What could we say about Vipera kaznakovi or dinniki what shows sometimes orange or red colour. I remember that Vipera ammodytes ruffoi show an incredible almost silver colour and some specimens of Vipera ammodytes ammodytes are sometimes grey, brown but also beige and pink! So much variation in the coloration. And what say about situla. Ah I forget to comment your fantastic footage about Lachesis, so beautiful images about a so elusive species.

    I saw the video and thought, oh no, 122 minutes. That's too long. Then I started watching it, and 122 minutes later, I thought, oh no, that's too short. Best video ever. I'm from Australia but I was lucky to find a Balkan and Nose horned on my trip to Croatia, on Hvar. Both were adults. Excellent job on the video guys :)

    Thanx for the Warning. I love to play portable Amateur Radio Outdoors at remote Places of Mother Nature. In most Cases Snakes going to see me long before I notice they are around and they going to escape. But you never know what happens...sometimes if you come across a sleeping Snake she gets scared and might strike at you just to protect herself. Always have an Eye open where you move around and never try to touch or catch one of these Snakes if you not familiar with Species. On europeansides I never had an Issues with venomous Snakes but in SoCali I got bitten twice by a Rattlesnakes. So be careful - Life can be over very fast. Thanks for your fantastic Job & happy Weekend. Greetings from southwest Germany. Uncle Günter waving a Hand into Croatia 💯🙋‍♂
