Mine is 18

People getting bitten is very rare. There was one person in my village who was bitten by an adder in the ankle a few years ago, just as you say she didn't see it and stepped on it. Most common problems around here is dogs getting bitten by them. Don't forget we now also have the Aesculapian snake which can be found in London and Wales. Not a native snake and probably came over in shipping containers.

Mine is 23 and a freakin cutie

Saw one in my garden ( Hampshire ) last year. My cat had a stand off with it !

Currently own a 28 year old leopard

Back in the 60s when I was knee high to a grasshopper we used to catch Adders on the local common. My Uncle taught us how to handle them and gave us the good advice "stay away from the end that bites." By the way,we never harmed them.

Very nice video. But that rhyme with the coral snake can be dangerous - applies only in the USA. In other parts of the world it does not apply.

Saw an adder in the outskirts of Falkirk...I bricked it ran for it!!😂

i'm looking the video in 2024 is still alive bro ?

'promo sm' 😡

I know this comment is 2 years after you post... I hope your friend is still with you.... If not... well, there are many more leos up in Gecko Heaven to burrow with. Great job highlighting your dear friends whilst smoothly and subtly educating. Thank you for your effort. Cheers.

My leopard gecko is 23! She’s wonderful!!

Hi Kim! I bought a leopard gecko in 1998 for my son and we have a similar story! Gex is alive and well but we don’t know his/her sex to this day. He is 23 and is older than my youngest child of 22.

Very sad their numbers are dropping

My Little Lizzy is 22 years-old. I bought her for my son when he was six.

Cool! Mine is from 1992 as well

Is he still alive today 😳?

My leopard gecko was born in 1996/1997. The dude went away to college with me, partied a bit and has since moved in with my parents. He appears healthy, still eats plenty of crickets and sheds regularly. His tank is in their basement. I'm guessing that stable environment is perfect for him.

Is this guy still around?

Very informative. Thank you mate.

I would love Willow to play with my snake.

Hi, how is someone able to get a baby from His bloodline?

I got a Leopard Gecko who's currently 9 years old and is my oldest pet right now. I got him after I accidently killed my sagebrush lizard. I was young at the time, like 8 or 7, I thought it was a great Idea to have Alex sleep in my bed with me one night. As you can imagine, it didn't go well at all. The day after, I got Dexter, I named him after the cartoon I used to watch. Fitting as he often spends time in his den, I like to think it's his laboratory. Through the years, I've learned he wasn't the happiest in his current tank lay out. So I re decorated the whole thing and did my best to make it look like the real world. I even placed some aquarium plants in there. Afterwards, I noticed he's been and is much happier and his skin is very vibrant. I happy lizard = happy owner.

Seen plenty around Dumfriesshire. Easy to find them

I remember hearing there are only two countries in the world where more of the snakes are venomous than not. One was Madagascar. In the other one ALL the snakes are venomous. Where is this this deadly place? Scotland! (It has only one species, the Adder).

I've got one that I got from a friend in 2002 that was 8 years old at the time and still alive today.

Another amazing fact about UK snakes is that none of them are native to the island of Ireland. In fact, Ireland has no native snakes at all.

if you see an adder near your home your blessed, leave it alone and it will make sure there are no rats or mice around.

They Can kill humans in certain circumstances. Get rid of them

As an Aussie, we are very careful around snakes and you kinda learn how to scare them off when bush walking (make noise and stomp!). I don't think we've actually had a snake death since the seventies here, not since our government developed the universal antivenom. I have a few friends who grew up on farms and they naturally walk with their heads down looking for snakes. The antivenom really changed everything.

A snake is my dream pet and I also live in the uk P

never even knew we had snakes in the uk. and apparently where i am in the midlands the adder is more common

No wonder I never saw one while living in Herefordshire, that camouflage is something else 🤙🏻

Got bit by an adder back in the 70's. My fault...trying to catch a worm for bait and lifted a rock and went to grab the worm, my hand going over the adder. Hand swelled up...up to just above the wrist and I did get the sweats, but that was it. Been bitten by a western hognose too...a pet and my fault again....hand swelled up to just above the wrist and was numb, but that was it.

Of course the snake I found today is venomous

Hey thank for today I had a fantastic day with you and your reptiles

2 weeks ago I got bit by 1, totally didn't expect to find 1 in Darlington.

I've seen Vipers in France, natural to their countryside. I wonder if they are the same snake. I almost stepped on one a few years back in France, I was wearing wellies. My friends said they attempt to slide off very fast but if bitten I would need to go to hospital just for an anti venom, may cause large swelling and a bit of pain.

We got loads of adders in my home town in South Wales

Small nitpick here - Grass snake (Natrix natrix / helvetica) scales are also keeled like those of V. berus. Other than that the video is splendid, it's good to have knowledgeable people talk about the reality of what snakes are.

I was thinking there’s no snakes in uk because of cold weather

Be careful सतर्क राहावे

So Ragnar Lothbrok got killed by these?

Mines about 24 years old but the vets can't determine it's age. And no, i don't have the reciept from 24 tears ago. So I have no proof :-( Pretty sure I was 6 or 8 at the time, 32 now!

I’ve had my Leopard Gecko since 1994 and he is still going strong! I’m hoping he can make it to 30!! He was my first reptile pet.

I think the word nadder, which is the root of the word adder, is a more proper name for "snakes" than the word snake is because the Old English word nædder, which is the root of nadder, was the usual word for "snakes" even though snake came from the Old English word snaca. Another reason is that nædder came from an Indo-European word for nadder or "snake" while snake came from an Indo-European word for creep or crawl. Do you think so?
