I´d never expect them in the trees, in austria you just have to look where you step...

Thanks! No, I found him accidentally actually and yes, I was surprised! He was a baby though....if he had been bigger I may have been a little freaked out :)

The only time a snake has scared me was a rat snake in a tree. You just really don't expect to see a snake at face-level. This is a great photo.

was it easy to spot?
