The asp viper is a venomous snake of south-western Europe. It lives in warm, sunny places with dry soil, often in hills and rocky areas. Its bite can be more severe than that of the European adder, so it is important to know what it looks like.1

Cara mengenalinya

  • Average total length is 60–65 cm. Males can reach 85 cm, while females are rarely longer than 75 cm.1
  • The head is broad and triangular, and it is clearly separate from the neck.1
  • The tip of the snout is slightly but distinctly turned up.1
  • The tail is very short, and males are a little slimmer than females.1
  • The pattern on the back varies a lot. It rarely forms a clear zigzag, unlike the European adder.1

Sering tertukar dengan: The European adder (Vipera berus) is a close relative. The asp's back pattern rarely forms a clear zigzag, as the adder's often does. Bites from the asp can be more severe than those from the adder.1

Fakta

1

Ancient writers named the snake that supposedly killed Queen Cleopatra as an asp. Experts think a cobra would have been too big, over 5 feet long, to smuggle in a basket.1

2

In the past, the word "asp" was used to mean any venomous snake.1

3

In 2006, a number of these vipers were found in a wooded area near Poortugaal in the Netherlands. The species is not native there, so it was probably released or escaped.1

4

Asp vipers have been found at over 2,100 m above sea level in the Pyrenees, even though they are not strongly linked to high altitudes.1

5

The venom yield is relatively low. One study recorded a daily extraction of 9–10 mg.1
