They sometimes wrestle other males for the same female, slithering across the ground quickly.
The bitten prey wanders off, dies and the adder uses its sense of smell to find it.ĭuring warm spring days, male adders actively search for females by picking up pheromones in the air. They then immediately release the prey so that it cannot bite back. Once they have identified their prey, they strike it and inject venom. Adders employ both ambush and active hunting techniques. They also eat lizards, nesting birds and frogs. Young adders tend to hibernate in the place they were born.Īdders feed mostly on small mammals, said Savitzky. They stay in abandoned mammal or tortoise burrows. Black or European adders in colder climates hibernate for five to seven months during the winter, according to the Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust.
Though they have relatively good eyesight, they rely primarily on their sense of smell when mating, according to Solway.Īdders are most commonly seen during sunset, when they go out to hunt. They are not commonly found in urban areas.īlack or European adders are solitary, shy snakes. They like to have open meadows or dunes for basking in the sun, but also leaves, scrub, or rocks to hide beneath when threatened. They also live at the highest elevation of any snake - up to 8,500 feet (2,591 meters) above sea level.īlack or European adders are often found on the edge of the woods, in open countryside, according to the Forestry Commission of England. They extend from the upper reaches of Scandinavia south to northern Greece and east to Northern China and Korea. They are the only snakes that live above the Arctic Circle. This allows their fangs to grow relatively long, according to Andrew Solway, author of the book " Deadly Snakes (opens in new tab)" (Heinemann-Raintree, 2005).Īccording to the Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust, black or European adders have the largest range of any terrestrial snake in the world. Hinged fangs fold up and lie against the roof of the snake's mouth. Like other vipers, black or European adders have hinged fangs through which venom is injected into prey. Females are generally redder and browner than males, which tend to have more gray, black and white coloring. Some, however, are pure black (hence the term, "black adder"). Most adders have distinctive black or dark brown zig-zag markings on their backs, said Savitzky. Adders have a V shape on their heads and scales that partially cover their eyes, giving them a lidded appearance. Adults average about 24 inches (7.3 meters) long and are relatively thick-bodied.īlack or European adders are usually gray or reddish brown, though they can also be black, white, cream or pale yellow.

The only penalty for this is you will drop a lot of your money, which can be picked up later if the player is quick enough.įun Fact: Though DeathSpank looks bald due to his skin-tight mask, he does have hair, as shown in the battle with "Ze Commandorque" in "DeathSpank: Thongs of virtue". When DeathSpank dies he will respawn at the nearest Outhouse. Choosing your own weapons instead of investing in skills allows for an easier flow of strategy in battles if you get bored of one weapon you can try something different. This also means that the player can decide how they want to play.
In his travels DeathSpank has brought justice to the downtrodden, faced the riddle of bacon and defeated evils so horrible they would put hair on the hairs on your chest.ĭeathSpank doesnt have class skills (see Hero Cards) in the traditional sense this means if you want to do more damage all you need to do is get a stronger sword, or if you want to do more ranged damage just get a better ranged weapon.
