   [QUOTE=armata]Despite the fact that the adder is the most intensively studied snake in the work we are still in the dark about some aspects. Trouble is it takes a long time to discover some of these aspects.

Thanks for the reply Tony. Yes I realised that shifting adders about is not now considered a good thing really.
I think we all love them all the more because we don't yet know it all! 
I should think with all your experience you, perhaps more than most of us, can almost be certain what would be very suitable habitat for adders and what would not. Have you come across any places which appear to be prime adder territory and aren't or vice versa?

	Forum: Adder Topic: Adder Translocation Posted By: slippery42 The only thong I am prepared to say is that we (NWC) have funding for a reasearch project on a scale which has NEVER been available to any one else in the past. The project is a long term one. So why are you asking for adders from other consultants? will they be providing the funding eh? in return for your receptor site services perhaps? JC
