Nose-horned on a stick (Vipera ammodytes ammodytes)

This is a very beautiful 71 cm long female Nose-horned Viper, Europe's most venomous snake. She's also the first and only snake that I weighd (0.5 kg).
I put her on the stick (to see how she would react) and held it while this photo was being taken. She was very placid. Not once did she try to bite.
