BGD 6,437 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? I guarantee the story of it climbing the pram is utter bullshit. There's no way an adder could manage that even if it wanted to (it wouldn't), they're fecking terrible climbers. He clearly poked it then felt like a dickhead so made up some story where he was the hero. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The one 8,592 Posted April 13, 2017 Report Share Posted April 13, 2017 dont know about down there but up here its still too cold they would be out basking warming up and he would have picked it up and it got him , but im a stupid barstool isnt a good headline to sell papers 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BGD 6,437 Posted April 13, 2017 Report Share Posted April 13, 2017 Aye I'd imagine even in the warmest parts of the country any adders about will still be quite sluggish at this time of year, certainly not performing acrobatics on a pram Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lab 10,979 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 ............and the snake died.Na he kept it alive, still uses it as a beltBy the sounds of it he'd need atleast 2 snakes for that.Come to the fishing comp and you see for yourself ........ I've not ruled it out. Wish someone would win it a bit closer though..? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

There's no way an adder could manage that even if it wanted to (it wouldn't), they're fecking terrible climbers. He clearly poked it then felt like a dickhead so made up some story where he was the hero. and that is exactly what I think happened. They are such shy animals and from what I've seen they don't move until they are disturbed. I almost stood on one once, I saw a bottle under my foot so side stepped to avoid treading on it and that's when I saw the snake curled up right next to the bottle. I thought it was dead and it was only when we moved towards it to have a look it darted off. It's a good reminder because there's a lot of them here, we should have a rethink about where we take the dogs for a walk through summer. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
