Israel! Why not?? UPDATE!!!!

the bornuelleri is amazing - the better choice than palestinae.

What is a Vipera bornmuelleri? Just a rare snake not more!
A bornmuelleri is never as beautiful as a palaestinae!!!

Depends on!!!!!

...and for those, like to say/write: " Black rocks!"
We all know these reddish, orange Macrovipera (I didn´t confirm to put it into the genus Daboia) mauretanica.
All these common colors!
But look at this one:

Here is a list of Reptiles in Israel. The list is not complete and not all the Latin names correct now, but it gives an overview about the occurring reptiles.

I found 25 different species. I think it is not bad for a vacation/field trip mix and the hot weather.
