Goodness! I think they're probably lucky not to get trodden on Glenn.... or perhaps you were lucky not to have done!!!

What a great picture you've taken of him - excellent work here lad.

thank you delia :) this snake has been my unicorn for the last 2 years. i have found dozens of horned vipers but here in the UAE finding them with horns is hard work to say the least lol. fortunatly me and a group of friends were out looking last night and i stumbled across not one but two vipers. Both baring horns. A very happy chap at the end of the evening to say the least :D
