Snakes not in hibernation

Beautiful snake.You lucky to see one.Here is a pic.of skaapsteker which was killed by some idiot what was trying to convinced me how dangerous it is.I should have taken pic.of the idiot and put him here too.Next time.Skaapsteker is not dangerous to human at all.

If you need to identify a snake there is a great group on facebook "snakes of south africa".Post the picture there and in ten min.you will know what snake it is.Really great group.

Well done Jonwells, I agree with you.

The head shape is not typical of a snake.

Thats pretty cool, it looks so snake-ish! Now that you say that I can see 3 legs clearly, what an odd looking lizard!

On the 9th August we came across a Berg Adder near the top of Sterkhorn - that would have been about the 2900 metre level.

@Sterkhorn: was Curran in your group? He's a friend of mine who told me he was climbing Sterkhorn on 9 Aug. Otherwise did you bump into a group of people from PMB?

Could you post some pics of the route - significant/tricky spots or places where the path is tough to follow, or even better, do you have the GPS co-ords by any chance? I hope to do Sterkhorn in Oct/Nov/Dec this year and will probably be doing it with friends who don't know the Berg well. I'm usually up for figuring out where a route is as I go along, but its always nice to know what the important parts look like in advance...

@Ghaznavid
Yes that was our group.
Unfortunately I have no GPS co-ords, but can give you some pointers and pictures.
Just give me a few days to access some pictures i.r.o. the route - this trip I only took a few scenic shots, so need to go back to previous trips to find some of the route.
