I always assumed there was no snakes in Scandinavia because we don't have them here in Ireland. But that could be because they never reached here after the last ice age. Rabbits for instance are not native to the British Isles but wolves are.
You’re spot on with that theory! The British channel worked as sort of a species filter when the ice retracted and then the Irish Sea as a second filtering the species making it out to the green isle yet again. This unfortunately made Ireland snakeless. UK on the other hand still has snakes (the same we have in Norway)😁
I seen em in Sweden in some goofy places, across from a caycare, climbing up a side of a bridge apparently to get over it and one directly behind our apartments a big one who had a nice hole. I picked up one to move it off a road as it was headed to a place is should not, I have not seen but two in places where one would say they really belong, it seems they are maybe a bit curious or something.
Do you have any large adder populations left in Norway as you have much more habitat compared to the UK. I have heard there are some very large adder populations in Sweden 100 plus according to Tom Madsen from Sweden.
det er litt sun norge has så strenge reptil regler. jeg hadde hat en rosy boa siden jeg er en begynner men skal ha en california kingsnake i stedet så det er jallefal bra
I've done it previously, but I decided against it this instance as they looked to be rather stationary. I'll do it in the future go show you the gorgeous animals in greater detail :)
Ååååja 😅 har gått litt fort i svingene for min del 😅 Hoggormen finnes over hele landet helt opp til rundt Bodø. Så de er å finne utenfor alle storbyer helt opp til dit 😁

Damn, that’s crazy to think that there are snakes native to Norway. Wouldn’t imagine so because of the cold.
Not everything with stereotypes are true

Jormundgandr!
Bergen is my hometown!
Looking forward to herping there as some of the local adder there are stunning! But the rumoured rainy weather is a whole other thing 😅
Greetings from Townsville. I didn't know Norway had snakes.
Hey Dave!
Yeah, we have 3 species; 2 colubrids and one viper. We also have a legless lizard (Slow worm) and one regular lizard :P

Veldig enig i at reglene her er ganske strenge, men vi får håpe de kan endres med tiden :D
Why dont you use a welding glove to hold him and get some better footage? I do this also with v.ammodytes and v.ursinii

Hello nice to see this video
Good wishes from India♥️
Hey! I'm happy you enjoyed it. I definitely want to go to India someday and explore the vast diversity of snakes you have :D
I was in Ostfold in Norway, we saw 2 last summer... one bite our dog, her face was like a balloon
Did you have it on a leash? You should for it's own safety and that of other animals.
Visste ikke de var rett utenfor Oslo
Joda :P
Født og oppvokst i Oslo :D
