[whatyousayingowen]

Get in there Ben!

[furcino]

Adders are the only venomous snakes... (but we'll show you a head of a grass snake in the graphics).

[mrcatdoc1]

Hi ben my little brother some how keeps getting bitten by adders when hes walking is he doing anything to provoke them by jusst walking

[pictureperfectman]

in the beggining with the news report, there is a grass snake, not an adder lol

[Cadian761]

It''s really great for someone to create awerness about this beautifull species! I've been working with these snakes here in the Netherlands and we face the same problems.

Really nice to see! Keep it up

[ghostflourisher93]

Nice video Ben I really want to find an adder and get some pictures of one but i dont know where is a good place to go and find one. :( I have seen a aload of our other reptiles and had a good look but no adders i think i got a glimpse of one but never seen one properly. You know any good south east locations for one.

[matrich1983]

how easy are these to find in england, i am from derbyshire and i was wondering if they would be up here too? if i saw one i would deffo just walk past it and keep clear lol :) how bad is the bite is it very very painful?

[ecoman32]

Very beautiful Ben!, is ther more where that comes from> so is Becky,btw,but i,m protecting Adders in Holland as well, and due to lots of efforts of specialists now the Adder is increasing again since the last years, i hope to see them in my neighbourhood again ,one time..

very nice snake! i caught an asp viper (vipera aspis) today... tomorrow im going to release it in the wild...

[herpingeeK]

Awesome! It's nice to see people like you, caring for animals and raising awareness about them. Although i've been bitten by one, the adder is by far one of my favorite snakes. Stunningly beautiful.

[benwaddams]

Thank you :) very much

Ben

[billflowers]

[RadicalPaddy]

where do these 'slimy' rumours come from? It's really strange.

That Adder was very well behaved I must say, unlike some of the grass snakes I've come across...

[benwaddams]

I know, no idea, some people are just a bit uneducated I suppose, hence this item. Thanks mate,

Ben

[Bjarku]

excellent work and well done.

i can't believe people still think snakes are "slimey", that's absurd. such a beautiful snake. corn snakes and adders are gorgeous

[benwaddams]

I know, me neither. Cheers for the comments mate,

Ben

[kreeddem]
