Snakes and Adders

When i was in New Forest, i spent two weeks looking for adders. In the end i had to give up and go to a reptile park.

Now im in south of France somewhere not far from Marseille. Stopped in a car park to have a poo. Went into a bush and there was one right there! Nearly stood on the bloody thing before it slithered off into a stream and disappeared. Probably not a strong swimmer.
Saw a couple of lizards aswell.

Then i walked a bit further down the stream and saw this horrible thing lurkin on a bridge. Luckily id already been for a poo otherwise it would have been in me pants.
