Oh yessss! Love it Mario

Here's a link to my good old friend Red John (unfortunately found dead about 2 years ago by my friend Yannick Francioli) at the top of the page: http://fieldherping.eu/Forum/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=1042&hilit=red+john&start=10

Jürgen: Not yet motivated to come back this year?

Is this a serious question?
I`m still a Asp-maniac, but I don`t have much time this year, especially at the weekends.
I made a few One-Day-Trips to Switzerland (Ticino, Bernese Alps, Val Müstair)
with less success.

I also like the variability of the different aspis colorations!
And I also really like the red ones!

Unfortunately I only found V. aspis aspis up to now and because of that many colorations I did not see yet (also not a melanistic one), but when I see this pics I'm keen to do a small trip and search for more V. aspis subspecies.
