Biodiversity Survey Forms SPECIES ACTION PLAN FOR ADDER (Vipera berus) IN BEDFORDSHIRE Covenors: Greensand Trust Courtesy Phil Irving, Michelle Edwards 1. Summary The adder (Vipera berus) is one of six reptiles native to Britain. It is also known as the European adder, European viper or the common viper and is Britain's only venomous snake. The adder is vulnerable to habitat loss due to intensive agriculture, forestry and urban development, and there is evidence that the numbers of adders decreased throughout Britain in the 1960's and early 1970's, this decline being most severe in the south east of England. The Biodiversity UK Steering Group Report Volume 2: Action Plans details the adder as being of unfavourable conservation status within Europe and indicates a decline in population of~25% in the last 25 years. In Bedfordshire there have been very few sightings of adders, the main population being present at King's Wood and Rammamere Heath at Heath and Reach.

Froglife Advice Sheet 2 SNAKES NEED FRIENDS Advice on snakes (and slow-worms) in gardens Snakes are protected by law Snakes are a spectacular element of Britain’s biodiversity. But, sadly, these beautiful animals are becoming scarce in many areas. To try to halt their decline in numbers, all snakes in England, Scotland and Wales are protected from killing and injury under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 (as amended). As for our rarest snake, the smooth snake, its habitat is also protected. So, if you come across a snake, do not harm it. If it is trapped or injured contact the RSPCA (0870 5555999). Snakes on the slide Snakes are a very vulnerable group of animals that cannot easily cross large areas of inhospitable habitat. This means that they are often confined to small areas of snake-friendly habitat, an if these become damaged or destroyed, they have nowhere to hide. Some animals may move out and survive for several years in less suitable areas, where they may appear unexpectedly and cause concern, but generally, if the habitat is lost, so is its population of snakes. Once snakes disappear from a site, then it may be too isolated from other populations to be re-colonised naturally, even if the habitat is suitable. In addition to the problems of shrinking and increasingly fragmented habitat, snakes still suffer from persecution. There is much superstition and misinformation surrounding snakes, so that many people fear them unnecessarily. Sadly, this can lead to snake persecution to the extent that they become locally extinct.

    Bitis arietans ). (VERY DANGEROUS!)
    The puff adder is probably the most widespread snake in Africa, avoiding the severe parts of the Sahara desert, tropical rain forests and high altitudes, it extends from the southern Cape to southern Morocco and also into southern Arabia. In southern Africa it may be found in most areas, but it avoids the extreme desert conditions, dense forests and altitudes above 2000 meters.
    The venom is cytotoxic with strong haematoxic and some cardiotoxic effects and large volumes are produced. It causes severe pain, swellings in the bitten limb, hemorrhages and nausea. Death is caused by secondary effects, s. a. kidney failure, due to severe swellings. The long fangs (12 - 18 mm) assure that the venom is injected rather deeply. Even if the patient does not die, serious necrosis usually follows the swellings. In most cases of puff adder bites the use of antivenom is essential. Mating may take place from late autumn to early spring, according to the area. Males are known to engage in combat to compete for a female. The young are born from late summer into early autumn. New born young tend to be from 15 to 20 cm in length and average batch sizes in our area vary from 20 to 40.

    Australian Snakes at the Australian Reptile Park

    Snakes are something most people go out of their way to avoid, but not at the Australian Reptile Park. Snakes can be distinguished from the other members of the reptile class by the absence of external limbs, eyelids and external ears. There are seven families of snakes in Australia. Most species belong to the Elapidae family and are venomous.
    This picture is of a carpet python from northern Queensland. There are Australian snakes in the Colubridae family which include the green tree snake and the brown tree snake, both of which occur along much of the east coast of Australia. Some of the colubrid snakes are venomous though none are regarded as potentially dangerous to humans.The long and slender tree snake in this picture inhabits rainforests of northern Queensland. Another family of harmless snakes includes the pythons, with about 15 species occurring in Australia, ranging in size from the half metre long dwarf python from Western Australia, to the five metre long (and occasionally longer) scrub python of northern Queensland. This is the longest of Australian snakes - the scrub python of northern Queensland.
    The fierce snake or "inland taipan" is believed to have the most toxic venom produced by a land snake. Fortunately, this species is confined to the sparsely populated floodplains of south-west Queensland and adjacent areas in South Australia. Bites which occurred before the availability of antivenom in the late 1950's were almost always fatal.

    Common Death Adder
    Common Death Adders live in eastern and south-western Australia. They are found in woodlands and forests.
    Common Death Adders shake their tail to lure prey close to them before they strike. Common Death Adders eat small mammals, birds and reptiles. To find their food Common Death Adders flick their tongue to taste the air. They also use their sight. Common Death Adders attract prey close to them by twitching their tail. They then strike with their mouth and inject venom into their prey from their fangs. They swallow their prey whole. Birds of prey and large reptiles eat Common Death Adders.

In our tamed and managed landscape, which long ago lost its bear, wolves and wild boar, and in spite of generations of human persecution, there is still a venomous snake. John Baker, provides a glimpse of the shy adder's year In more enlightened times than those that saw off the similarly persecuted wolf, the adder is now legally protected from killing or injury (as are all our native reptiles). Those who have come to know adders regard them as timid creatures and a link with the untamed side of the natural world. Dance of the adder
    Among reptiles, the adder is a cool climate specialist - there are adders within the Arctic Circle. Reptiles don't generate their own body heat, so their body temperatures are constrained by the external environment. During the colder months of the year adders are inactive, hiding away, often communally, in carefully selected overwintering sites, or hibernacula. These hibernacula are usually located within sunny, south-facing slopes or embankments, on well-drained soils. Adders emerge from hibernacula to bask on sunny days, in March or April, in preparation for mating.

    Which snake has the longest fangs? In Australia, life-threatening poisonous animals have always posed a hazard to humans. But some of the most dangerous also act as lifesavers. Such is the case with the notorious death adder, a snake that's essential to the production of lifesaving snakebite antivenins. The National Geographic Channel tags along with snake wranglers from the Australian Reptile Park in Somersby, New South Wales, as they hunt death adders for their valuable and deadly venom. Death Adder Duet is an installment in the Snake Wranglers series, which brings viewers face-to-fang with the planet's most compelling snakes. Craig and Jackie Adams with an Olive python

      Adder (Vipera berus)
      Local status and distribution
      The Adder is rare in Warwickshire and only occurs at a few known sites in the county making up only 5% of the total reptile records. In Victorian times the Adder was described as not abundant in the county, being absent from alluvial areas and mainly found in sandy or stony places.
      Description
      The Adder is a small, stout snake with a distinctive continuous zigzag on the back. It has a well defined head compared to the grass snake and rarely grows longer than 65cm (2 feet). Body colour is variable, males are usually grey or buff with a black zigzag whereas females are brown with a dark brown zigzag. The Adder is the only native snake having elliptical, as opposed to round pupils. Occasionally black (melanistic) Adders are found but none have been reported in Warwickshire.
      Ecology
      The Adder is typically found in heathland and moorland but in Warwickshire it is associated with railway embankments, rough grassland and scrub. Male snakes are the first to come out of hibernation, females emerging a couple of weeks later. Mating takes place in April and early May and is often preceded by a ritualistic behaviour pattern by the males, who dance with each other in a trial of strength to gain access to the female who is often in the near vicinity. Female Adders do not breed every year because they need at least one intervening year to feed up and regain breeding condition. Once pregnant they cease to feed for the 3 to 4 month gestation period whilst the embryos develop inside the body. Six to twenty young are born alive, usually by the beginning of September.

In Britain Adders hibernate according to the weather usually between October and March. Unlike many other snakes Adders do not burrow, rather they avail themselves of crevices, holes and caves to retire to when hibernating. Food: lizards, mice, voles and shrews are the main items on a hungry Adder's menu. Young Adder's shall graduate to these foods having had an initial diet of insects and worms. Adders hunt by scent, tracking their prey then striking their larger victims with a poisonous bite which may take a few minutes to have its deadly effect. In some cases the victim will travel on while the poison takes effect. In such cases the Adder waits before following to eat the now deceased animal.

As a result, many harmless, non-venomous snakes are destroyed indiscriminately. Summer is that time of year when snakes are most active. Cape Nature Conservation would like to request that the public take extra care when busy with outdoor activities, even in your own back garden. If you encounter either a large, heavy-bodied snake with chocolate-brown, black and brilliant yellow markings (puff-adder), or a large snake with a yellow, copper or speckled appearance and which rears up and spreads a hood when confronted (Cape cobra), or a large, very agile yellow-and-green or uniformly brown snake with large eyes which takes to the trees when confronted (boomslang), please stay calm and remain very still. Snakes do not attack humans under normal conditions and when encountered, they are usually the first to move away and seek shelter. Some will, however, retaliate and strike when handled or confronted and people who are not familiar with snakes, especially large venomous ones, should refrain from confronting and handling them at all times.

Characteristics: The common adder is a small true viper that has a short temper and often strikes without hesitation. Its venom is hemotoxic, destroying blood cells and causing tissue damage. Most injuries occur to campers, hikers, and field workers. Habitat: Common adders are found in a variety of habitats, from grassy fields to rocky slopes, and on farms and cultivated lands. Length: Average 45 centimeters, maximum 60 centimeters. Distribution: Very common throughout most of Europe. Long-nosed adder
    Vipera ammodytes Description: Coloration is gray, brown, or reddish with a dark brown or black zigzag pattern running the length of its back. A dark stripe is usually found behind each eye. Characteristics: A small snake commonly found in much of its range. The term "long-nosed" comes from the projection of tiny scales located on the tip of its nose. This viper is responsible for many bites. Deaths have been recorded. Its venom is hemotoxic, causing severe pain and massive tissue damage. The rate of survival is good with medical aid. Habitat: Open fields, cultivated lands, farms, and rocky slopes.

    Snakes must be among the most misunderstood and unfairly treated of all God's creatures.

    Snakes Alive
    While the danger of a small number of snake species must never be underestimated, I do believe that the threat of death from snakebite while walking on the mountain should be put firmly in perspective. In South africa an average of 15 people die each year as a result of snakebite, with most fatalaties ocurring in Northern Zululand. Yet a survey in 1978 revealed that only one in every 68 recorded snakebites resulted in death. By comparison over 200 people are struck dead by lightning every year; 10 000 people die in the carnage on our roads; and 29 000 die as a result of smoking-related diseases. If you are a smoker you can stop worrying about being bitten by a dangerous snake. What you are doing is 2000 times more likely to kill you! There are some 23 snake species in the Cape Peninsula , of which only five are dangerous . There are about 130 species in Southern africa, 14 of them deadly. It therefore follows that should you come across a snake on the mountain, as I do perhaps once or twice a year, the chances are that it does not deserve the fate you probably wish upon it. However it would be foolhardy to regard any snake with contempt. In the Cape peninsula the five that need to be given a wide berth are the

    SITE MAP WILDLIFE NEWS WildNet Africa News Archive Snakes alive: it's an adder not a mole. (4 December, 1996) A resident of Mpumalanga who tried to rescue what he thought was a mole snake trying to cross a busy Nelspruit road on Sunday, was bitten and had to be rushed to hospital with a rapidly swelling finger. The Deputy Headmaster of an Afrikaans primary school, Steve van Baalen, grabbed the snake by the tail to toss it into a bush, but it swung around and bit him on a finger, causing it to swell to more than double its normal size. Mr van Baalen's arm swelled to the width of his thigh while he was on the way to hospital. He later discovered he had been bitten by a mole adder. Mole adders' venom, while not lethal, causes significant pain and swelling. In a separate incident, a Brondal woman was rushed to Nelspruit's Rob Ferreira Hospital after being bitten by a Cape cobra on Sunday. Neels Bothma of the Mpumalanga Herpetological Society yesterday warned people in the Lowveld to beware of snakes because conditions were at present especially conducive to snake activity. 'There's lots of humidity and it's nice and warm, which is probably why the snakes are more active,' he said. Mr Bothma suggested people who encountered snakes call the emergency services to remove the reptiles. Sapa. Courtesy of the Pretoria News.
