Remembrance of an Adder

Hey all,
Well this is an interesting story to say the least.
I was sitting in my kitchen a few minutes ago thinking about all of the missed iNat species from my trip to Poland 3 years ago. Basically just all of the things I walked by that were rare or just super cool. Recently, I've gotten into snakes, and tonight I remembered that our group of 30 crowded around a big, brown snake up in the mountains, and thought it was so cool. Then I remembered that the only big, brown snake in Poland is venomous. I ran upstairs, scrolled through all of my pics until I found it and I started laughing so hard! Sure enough, the snake that I got 6 inches from to take this pic of was the Adder, the only venomous snake in Europe. I now know that it isn't smart to crowd venomous snakes, so I just find it hilarious now.

Until the next venomous snake (hopefully a Massassagua!),
Simon
