This viper is the only venomous snake that originally also occurs in the Netherlands.
Fancy a few locations in the Netherlands where you can find this snake.
I found this specimen around the Veluwe, fairly central in the Netherlands.
You can also find this species in peatlands.
They are not large, about 75 cm or so is already a large specimen.

Well recognizable by the zigzag stripe.
