Peatmoss Posted September 8, 2012 Report Share Posted September 8, 2012 Hello! Apparently this is the second time in a week that a sawscaled viper has been found in Britain. And granny did a good job taking care of the situation, instead of killing it. I know that if this had been in the USA, the snake would have been killed, and granny would have been a hero. But this story is even better for the snake and the granny! http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2199136/Grandmother-picks-foot-long-viper-kitchen-tongs-realising-worlds-deadliest-snake.html Obviously the solution to a potential snake invasion (not that they can survive winters) is a little old lady with a pair of salad tongs, positioned on every street corner!

mobile Posted September 10, 2012 Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 According to one comment at the bottom of the article, they can survive winter in hibernation. Which appears to be confirmed here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/nature/life/Echis_carinatus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
