Adders - Snake News Report with Ben Waddams

Adders, also known as the European Viper, are becoming increasingly rare across the UK. I thought I'd try and raise some awareness of their plight with ITV.
Thanks, Ben.

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.

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.
