Hi everyone,

Damn it's been so long I haven't posted anything...finally, I've taken the time to sort out some pictures that I took in...2016! Yes I know, shame on me, I'm world nr. 1 procrastinator. Can't imagine when I'll manage to do 2017 and 2018 and 2019 is about to start shortly already… Anyway, let's start first with some pictures of landscapes and habitats that I wanted to share with you.









Now some real habitats shots starting with plain habitats.

Top spots of the same region for Vipera aspis, Natrix natrix, Natrix maura, Hierophis viridflavus, Zamenis longissimus, Lacerta bilineata, Podarcis muralis, Emys orbicularis and more.









Now some pictures of habitats from another region for Vipera aspis, Hierophis virdiflavus, Natrix natrix, Coronella austriaca and more.









Now some mountain habitats for Vipera aspis atra, Vipera berus, Coronella austriaca, Natrix natrix, Zootoca vivipara and more.





























Now some non herps animals.











Now the herps. First a very few shots of Salamandra atra I've found in a Vipera berus spot.





Now some non snakes in-situ pictures. First some Emys orbicularis.





Some Lacerta bilineata.











Now for snakes, let's start with some stinky ones.

Natrix maura









Natrix tessellata (in-situ)



Natrix natrix (in-situ)











More snakes will follow shortly

Hierophis viridiflavus













Some in-situ pictures (always a challenge with Hierophis).







Now some vipers for the lovers (so that's all of us out here I guess )

Vipera berus









Vipera aspis





















And for the dessert, my three preferred asps of 2016.











The in-situ pictures will conclude the topic.

Here we go with the final chapter, in-situ Vipera aspis.











































































And voilà. Hope you'll like the pictures as much as I enjoyed taking them. As I've said in my introduction, I can't imagine when I'll finally take the time to go through my 2017 and 2018 pictures not to mention the fact that I have some pictures from Costa Rica (not much because I did only a very few days there when visiting my brothers who lives in Nicaragua and unfotunately, we didn't have the opportunity to herp in Nicaragua) and from Montenegro that I should sort and post but well...

I already wish all of you a great 2019 full of herps and hope I'll some of you soon here or there

Cheers!

Thanks for all the wonderful aspis in situ shots! Nice to see so much variation in color/pattern!

Fantastic set of images Love all the in-situ shots and those habitat shots make me wish for spring even more badly

Looks like someone is waiting for going out again! Don't worry, I think that this week-end should provide the first male aspis of the year
Great gallery, I will never get enough of the combination of mountains+V.aspis. I hope I will be able to make a jump in Switzerland this Spring for some hardcore sessions!

P.S: I also have hundreds of pics to edit and post. Well, next year maybe
