I ask..a my expert colleague: vipera berus. From the color of the eyes, too...

Re: I ask..I have had a dicussion with MGS about it. I had already thought so but Judith voted against it. Mainly, because we had seen another (rather browner) one last year.

Well, rather we saw the tail end last year ;-)
Anyway the colours are much different but then I learned from MGS that they adapt to the surrounding colour......

Re: I ask..It wasn' t a joke: my colleague told me that vipera aspis has golden eyes, then in your case it's vipera berus, also because the "a priori" probability that the vipera met in Dolomiti of Lienz belong to the species berus is of 99%.
By the way, when you meet a snake, usually do you fix it into the eyes?

Re: I ask..It may seem as if I was real close and looked into its eyes but I used a zoom with magnification factor 8. The same which I do with the flower shots.

Great shot Gangolf!

Re: That's pretty close!This was rather a small one - about one foot and a half. I was so close that it just started to raise its head getting interested. However, all the time it tried sliding away from me - which is what these little snakes usually do.
