The Greek meadow viper is a small venomous snake that lives in mountain meadows in Albania and Greece. It was once thought to be a type of meadow viper, but scientists now see it as its own species. Its bite is venomous, so it is important to know what it looks like.1

Hoe om dit te herken

Small body, with a maximum snout-vent length of about 40 to 44 cm, depending on sex. Females are larger.1
Maximum tail length of about 4 to 5 cm. Males have longer tails.1
Dark spots are absent from the sides and top of the head, except for stripes behind the eyes and at the back of the head.1
White or brownish-grey underside.1
A sharp zigzag pattern along the back. Some males and young show a faint similarity to the meadow viper.1

Word dikwels verwar met: It is often compared with the meadow viper (Vipera ursinii), which it closely resembles. The Greek viper has no dark spots on the head sides or top, apart from the head stripes, and it has different scale counts. Some males and juveniles show faint pattern similarities.1

Bly veilig

Moet nooit aan 'n wilde dier raak, dit vang of terg nie, selfs nie 'n kleintjie nie, en selfs nie as dit lyk of dit slaap of dood is nie.
Gee dit spasie. As jy een raakloop, bly kalm, stap stadig terug en laat dit sy eie pad gaan.
As een jou byt: bly kalm, bly stil, bel jou noodnommer (112, 000, 911) of kom vinnig by 'n hospitaal uit. Onthou hoe dit gelyk het, 'n foto help.

Dit is nie uit om jou te kry nie. Dit gebruik sy gif om kos te vang of om homself te beskerm, en kruip baie eerder weg. Meer oor veilig bly
