I said a big bullshit, but I had not read your response! Morocco is one of my next goals: I've seen that are easily Malpolon more than two meters! Macrovipera Mauritania is beautiful! Some time ago there was the news about that someone had released Lampropeltis in Grand Canaria e Lanzarote!
Today was the first suitable day available for reptiles, it was a very sunny day and 12 degrees C, unfortunately my car was being repaired and so did not visit the site until 16:00. The site was a local graveyard which holds a good population of Slow worms,Common lizards and a few Adders.I found a few lizards still hidden from the cold beneath stones but the real target was of course the Adder.I stood for a few moments surveying the scene and thought to myself "That looks a likely place", well I was not disappointed.
