Since the weather is now sh*t and herping is minimized, I've finally found the time to sort through a bunch of pictures from 2015.
In June I spent a week in Italy to be at a friends wedding. Since the wedding happened to be in the middle of Italy, near Ancona, I decided to stay for a few days longer and give finding Vipera ursinii a try, having failed horribly in Montenegro a month earlier. Very short trip so not really worthy of a huge report, but.....
FOUND IT! And the scenery was absolutely stunning, also worth mentioning.
While cruising around a bit in the wedding area, also found Speleomantes italicus, Anguis veronensis, Hierophis carbonarius and of course the usual lizard bunch. The wedding will always be remembered as the Ursinii-wedding Some pictures below.
