Aspic Viper

vipera aspis

Description:

Black aspic viper changing skin.

Habitat:

Mountains, rocks

Notes:

At the beginning I thought it was dead because of the eyes and dry skin, but it moved slowly away few minutes after I encountered it. Checking on Internet , I saw that it's the aspect they get when changing skin. Specimen: ~25cm
