Police issue snake warning for Gower dog walkers

Police have issued advice for dog walkers if their pet has been bitten by an adder, and urged owners to keep their dog on a lead at all times – particularly on the sand dunes of Port Eynon and near Worms Head in Rhosilli on Gower.

A spokesperson for South Wales Police’s Gower Neighbourhood Policing Team, who cover wildlife and rural crime, said: “Please be advised that we have received several reports regarding increased sightings of adders in Port Eynon (sand dunes) and near NCI Worm’s Head, Rhosilli. Please do the right thing and keep your dogs on leads at all times.

“Adders are the only venomous snakes in the UK and are generally active from early spring to October when they aren’t hibernating. They often live in sand dunes, hillsides, moors and woodlands and are more likely to bite dogs between April and July, especially in the late afternoon.

“If you suspect an adder has bitten your dog, immediately check for two small puncture marks, swelling or redness in the area – these are common signs of adder bites. It is important to keep your dog calm and still to prevent the venom spreading and seek veterinary advice ASAP.”

I saw two snakes on my trip to #SouthAfrica - both youngsters and both highly venomous. The Boomslang and the Puff Adder ....here's an 11 second video of the latter.

"They told me if I said anything, I'd endanger both myself and Fred."

"True. Probably for the first year, they had somebody watching you, to see if someone like me showed up. They'd have killed you. And tried to kill me. But it's been, what? Seven years now?"

"Yes."

"Then probably no one is looking. It's probably safe. What do you do?"

"You mean for a job? I'm in business analytics. I'm kind of a value #adder ."

"I guess value subtracter, at this point. Okay, here's what we'll do."

At the midwinter employee orientation, the little snake was sitting in the front row, if not bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, well, bright-eyed and shiny-scaled.

The HR guy looked at the diminutive serpent quizzically.

"You're a new hire?"

"You bet!" the snake said, lifting up on its coils proudly. "I'm a real value #adder. You'll be really glad I'm on board. Whether it's sales month over month, customer retention, employee morale--you name it, I'll add value."

Gasping for breath, fire coursing through his veins, Bart rolled over and gasped, "What are you?"
An aura of terror exuded from the newly-fanged twerp whose skin now scintillated with scales.
Bart felt like prey.
He was prey.
"I'm an accountant" he pushed the glasses up the bridge of his nose. "But I'm also an #adder. Part of the territory." 7/7

Luie journalist, verdiep je eens in de materie waarover je schrijft. De toerist is gebeten door een zandadder (Vipera ammodytes), voorkomend op de Balkan en een heel andere soort dan de gewone #adder (Vipera berus) die o.a. in Nederland leeft. De zandadder is aanzienlijk giftiger dan de (schuwe) gewone adder. Even googelen en je weet het.
