Posted: Mon Sep 05, 2011 11:27 pmI've just decided to rename this post and use it for my and Yannick's herping sessions in Vaud. As a lucky student, Yannick is currently on holidays and of course, he goes herping as often as he can. Here are pictures of one of his sessions a week ago.

As it had rained yesterday and this night and as the temperature was around 20 degrees and weather was sunny with some residual clouds, we were expecting a great session. But it finally wasn't that good...we ended up with only 1 snake, a baby Hierophis (at least, this was my first ever baby Hierophis and it surprised me to see how calm it was compared with an adult...
) and many green lizards as usually. Oh and at the whole end of the day, hidden under a plate, a nice Salamandra!

Nice finds again and happy for you for this first young viridiflavus. A calm one...well, are you sure it was really a viridiflavus ?
I can't believe it

Posted: Tue Sep 06, 2011 10:24 amThanks Guillaume! Well, I must admit that if I hadn't seen this by myself, I probably wouldn't believe that a baby Hierophis is calm. But as said, it hardly bite my finger twice and then, it even stayed calm while we were taking pictures!!

I'm not usually a big fan of Coronella but the grey one is really nice. Good news for the young asp
As you go to your spot on a regular basis, it would be interesting to have a follow-up of the specimens that live there, as you suggested. It would be also interesting to know when you will make your last observation of the year.
