A little walk today around my house (39°N, 800 m/2650 ft altitude; approx), just before sunset...

...Se ve aun joven y pequeña esa culebra bastarda, ¿verdad, Manisero?. No se como puedes cogerla así sin que se te revuelva de un latigazo para morderte el brazo (supongo que porque estará muy cansada y su atención está centrada en los perros, ¿no?) Ten cuidado que si logran morder a bocallena (con los dientes traseros), son venenosas (aunque muchísimo menos que las víboras, claro): un vecino de la zona pasó una malísima semana con una pierna hinchada; él tambien compartia la creencia popular de que las bastardas no tienen veneno, por que en la mayoría de sus mordiscos defensivos solo clava los colmillos delanteros para retirarse rapidamente: en esta ocasión la culebra se vió acorralada y mordió a bocallena; es por los dientes traseros, y no por los colmillos, por donde inocula esta culebra).
Recuerdo que por tu zona, en el Barrio de La Coma, vi una de esas de las que me comentabas de más de 2 metros de largo...
No sé si te lo había comentado, pero a mi abuela paterna Julia la mató una vibora hocicuda (le mordió en su cama, dentro de su casa) a finales de la década de los 80's... En los pueblos de la Sierra, no era raro descubrir víboras hocicudas dentro de las casas, y ese era uno de mis terrores infantiles...

...That bastard snake still looks young and small, isen't right, Manisero? I don't know how you can catch it like that without whipping it around to bite your arm (I suppose because it will be very tired and its attention is focused on the dogs, right?) Be careful that if they manage to bite full mouths (with their teeth rears), they are poisonous (although much less than viper snakes, of course): a neighbor in the area spent a very bad week with a swollen leg; he also shared the popular belief that bastards do not have poison, because in most of their defensive bites they only sink their front fangs to withdraw quickly: on this occasion the snake was cornered and bit fullmouth; It is through the rear teeth, and not through the fangs, that this snake inoculates). I remember that in your area, in the Barrio de La Coma, I saw one of those that you told me about, more than 2 meters long...
I don't know if I had mentioned this to you, but my paternal grandmother Julia was killed by a snouted viper snake (it bit her in her bed, inside her house) at the end of the 80's... In the towns of the Sierra, no it was rare to discover snouted vipers inside houses, and it was one of my childhood terrors...

I'm sorry about your grandmother, I didn't know...
Víboras have not been seen here for a long time, although a scorpion gives us a scare from time to time, I still remember that in the old days when someone was bitten by one he would dance the night away... We had to be Spaniards.
Yes, it's small, these bastards are brave, I already knew about their poison from the hands of some foolish friend, although personally I am more cautious, leather gloves and a long hook and I'll get hold of them soon.
It's funny how they warn, they snort like a cat. Recently it took me a long time to get a huge one out of the water meter, I asked my son to take a photo because of how impressive it was and he only took its head...
At least he didn't play the hero trying to get her out (there were no girls).

It is a pity that the ecosystems are not taken care of more, since we acquired the farmhouse and we take care of it we have changed the rats for hedgehogs, lizards, geckos, snakes, birds of all kinds ....

Crops are looking great everyone! Love the shots of different plants around the yard there Elitoguay!

Glad you got that snake handled safely, el mali. Dogs are great at watching out for pests. My miniature dauschund ate a couple locusts in the past day. Must be tastey, she's kind of a picky eater.

Thankfully getting some thunderstorms after a hot and humid week. Going to water on Sunday, going to be back into the 70's! :smoke:

Hi outdoorers

Yesterday the dogs brought out another snake, this time it was a rather aggressive bastarda...

Man, that picture of your hand holding the tail of an angry snake makes me cringe. I have handled various pythons over the years, but all venomous snakes I address with a blast of buckshot. Two days ago, a massive, highly venomous ten-foot spitting cobra had made itself at home in an indoor concrete drain hole about two feet in diameter. The beast was as thick around as my calf muscle, and I spent a good half hour pondering over how to light it up without having pellets glancing back at me.

Finally, a less cautious friend showed up and offered to do the honors while I cowered around the corner. Any errant pellets were probably slowed down by the fact that the snake was relaxing under a foot of water, which blew back at the shooter showering the floor with water and blood while the monster heaved and writhed in response to the impact. Relieved to see no collateral damage, I then watched as the delicacy was uncoiled from its lair before later being gutted and prepared for the cooking pot so the serpent could pay back its debt to society.
