mackem 29,981 Posted April 13, 2017 Report Share Posted April 13, 2017 This guy looks in quite a state,been on Hounslow heath loads of times in the past when lamping fox pre-ban,one of the papers is describing the snake that bit him as a giant adder,i never saw one bigger than maybe 18 inches. http://www.standard.co.uk/news/london/father-left-fighting-for-life-after-being-bitten-by-adder-in-west-london-park-a3513566.html Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nik_B 3,791 Posted April 13, 2017 Report Share Posted April 13, 2017 Slithering up a pram? Sounds a bit fishy to me They're not exactly bold animals are they, anyone think he did something a bit more stupid? 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sounds a bit fishy to me They're not exactly bold animals are they, anyone think he did something a bit more stupid? That was my deduction,slithering up a pram perhaps if it was a cobra or python,but an adder???? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

socks 32,253 Posted April 13, 2017 Report Share Posted April 13, 2017 I got bit on my leg by and adder about 7 years ago ... my leg felt like it had constant toothache for about two days ........ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
walshie 2,804 Posted April 13, 2017 Report Share Posted April 13, 2017 I don't believe the slithering up the pushchair bit. He probably put that in to sound brave instead of a knob poking poisonous snakes. Edit to add: Leg with toothache. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
greg64 3,061 Posted April 13, 2017 Report Share Posted April 13, 2017 i had three in my garden last year the biggest was just over two foot long .its the worst time of year to be bitten now as they have been in hibernation and have a lot of venom stored I saw an orange/brown one in a grave yard that was over two foot long but it was really wide bodied with a huge head compared to the others I have seen, quite a few bites around these parts last year especially on the sand dunes usally ankle bites when people stand on them Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The one 8,592 Posted April 13, 2017 Report Share Posted April 13, 2017 A good bit of drama sells papers as said probably farting about with it and it bit him , But all will be revealed in the film snakes in a pram 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

neil cooney 10,416 Posted April 13, 2017 Report Share Posted April 13, 2017 Seen in the paper where a fellow got bitten on his tool by an Adder. He asked the doctor to get rid of the pain but leave the swelling. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
