a weekend of Dutch secrets

Great photos and finds.. Within a few years you have to buy tickets to enter the Dutch Zoo. You can probably also buy a membership for a year and get a free fluffy Marbled Newt. With global warming and adding species to the Netherlands will be the herping capital of Europe

It was great to see everybody! But the dutch zoo was not something I fancied so I went to an other spot, where we found many Adders and 2 of them were dressed in black!

And when I send you stuff like that, you just sigh "Ah, Bero, you and your black worms once again..."
That's unfair, master. My "black worms" are even better (blacker) than theirs... (I strongly hope that
I don't have to add a smiley to make it plain that I'm just teasing you...)

Black adders are cool because they're rare, not because they're prettier

It was great to see everybody!

So great that you couldn't get away from us fast enough?

Agree with Daniel, that is, a "???" from me as well... Black adders might be rare somewhere,
but somewhere else they are not, and you know that yourself quite well.

I think he is talking about the dutch black adders.

I think he is talking about the dutch black adders.

I'm (almost) sure of that myself, but "my" black worms are even prettier than "their" black worms (wink,
wink, wink...!), and are quite common, not rare at all... And all that was quite obviously meant as just
a friendly joke (on my side, at least), so why the fearsome "Twisted Evil" emoticon he added...?!
