A couple of pictures from my herping here in Norway in 2017. As usual mainly V.berus. Most herping is done in and around Oslo in the east, but also some herping was done on the west-coast.

But the main focus in 2017 was these, to show the variation in color and pattern of V.berus berus - all taken in the field.

I would say that with adders' colours (and size) it is also important to differentiate the snakes by sex.
If I'm not wrong, for the 7 last pictures, I would say, judging only by the form of the tail:
Female,
Male,
Female,
Male,
Female (it seems to be a very young specimen: correct?),
Female,
Male.
Am I wrong?
