Dear Venomland Members and Friends, Venomland is a little more than 6 years old now and by far the biggest Hot Snake community on the Planet! We want to thank all of you who made Venomland the leading Board. We are also very thankful to our Moderators and Admins for years of hard work. Now, it is time to move on. I have been thinking how to proceed and what to do with our beloved board as we reach a size, that we need to make drastic changes to secure the future of our community. As of now, Venomland is hosted by a free (well mostly free) hosting service. That was good for the first years but now we need to find a new way to run our forum. I have spend hundreds of Dollars over the years to keep Venomland up and running, and i have done so with pleasure. Now, we need your help! We need to come up with several thousand dollars for our Venomland 2.0 project, which i frankly cant pay for any longer by myself. So Venomland is asking his Friends and Members for the first time for their financial Support. Please help to keep Venomland alive, and let us move on to a new, better Portal in the Future! Every Dollar is helping us a great deal. I know, its hard times for everyone, but please spare a few Dollar for our community. If you have only 10 Dollars to spare, we are grateful, if it is more, it would be awesome. We are planning to develop a very new Venomland, with real community functions, a forum like you are already loving it and a real (online) Hot Snake Magazin. Also, there will be download areas for scientific papers, Wallpapers and more. Again folks, we can only do that if you all help. Please send me a Private Message if you want to keep Venomland alive, i will provide you with the details on how to donate Money. For now, we can accept money from creditcards via skrill (please google it, its a free service - account-details will be forwarded to you) and paypal. All the best, and for a (hopefully) nice future of our Board. Mario

Hi there!
Yesterday I went out for some bouldering (climbing). On my way back I found this little beauty:
Male/Female Vipera10
Sry for the bad quality but I had just my mobile phone with me.
She/he was a badass, hissing all the time. I was joking around with my girlfriend and said only a lady can be badass like this.  Laughing 
So my question is, how can I say if it is a male or a female vipera berus?

regards
martin

Do you have any photos showing the tail better?
How big is he/she?

Graeme is probably right but on this photo the tail and body-shape look more like being of a male - it might be a male changing from juvenile to adult color or a very exceptional brownish male too.

Regards,
Rainer

I got two more images:

The first one is pretty much the same as the old picture:
Male/Female 210

The second one is because of the shitty zoom of my mobile phone pixelated:
Male/Female 20140510

The snake was about 50-60 cm long, which is pretty big I think (correct me if I'm wrong about it)
because I rarely see bigger one's in this area
About the location:
About 1200-1300 meters above sea level
Snow from oct/nov till march/april

Hello Martin,

it is a female though the light color and the contrast of the pattern look more like being of a male, therefore I asked for additional pictures.
50-60cm is a good size for female V. berus in alpine areas in Austria, it would be very big for males.

It is a beautiful animal, thank you for sharing,
Rainer
