| Your right Andrew! Always keeping an eye out for more adders, they should start dropping here in Australia very shortly. | |

| For info, those are not A. antarcticus - they are part of the A. rugosus complex. | |

No worries Wolfgang, I have no doubt you are correct. Under our licencing system down here in Victoria Australia they only recognize 3 species antarcticus, praelongus & pyrrhus. I have Sydney "Reds", Camooweals & Dajarras all under antarcticus-some serious work needs to be done down here on the adders. If they are rugosus then i would be holding illegal animals as rugosus are not on our licencing system! | |

Ah yes, the thankless task of reconciling reality and bureaucracy But yes, there is a lot more work needed on these critters, bo doubt about it. Cheers, WW | |

| Bit of a update on the male, would'nt keep still for a pic so I fed him a rat. As you can see he's turned into a guts & the female has now slowed up-the joys of keeping herps! | |
