Rare Adders Spotted in Local Woods
A recent sighting of rare adders in a local wood has caused excitement among snake enthusiasts across the region.
The adders, which are classified as a protected species in the UK, were seen by a walker in a rural area near to the town of Selby.
Four adders were spotted in total, and experts believe that this could be an indication that the creatures are starting to make a comeback after previously becoming scarce in the area.
In response to the news, snake enthusiast group Adders North East has organised a public event to allow people to see the snakes for themselves. The group's chairman, Nigel Douglas, said "It's great that these beautiful creatures are making a return to our local landscape and we want as many people as possible to have the chance to see them."
The event will take place on Saturday 14th October at 10am and will give visitors the opportunity to see the adders up close.
Protect Your Pets From Adder Attacks
Adder bites are common in the UK with many people being treated in hospital each year. The severity of an adder bite can depend on a huge range of factors, from the size and species of snake, to the age and health of the victim. Although adders are not considered to be deadly, their venom can be very dangerous and even cause death in some cases.
If you are unlucky enough to be bitten by an adder, it is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible. In the meantime, there are some things you can do to help protect your pets from adder attacks.
The first step is to make sure that your pet is always supervised when they are outside. This includes keeping them on a lead when they are near open areas where snakes may be lurking.
If you live in an area where adders are known to reside, it is also a good idea to keep your pet's vaccinations up-to-date. There is a vaccine available for dogs that can help protect them from adder bites.
There are a number of steps you can take to avoid encounters with snakes, including: - Avoiding long grass and bracken where snakes may be hiding - Not leaving food or water out overnight which could attract rodents (the main prey of Adders) - Putting away bird feeders and making sure that any bins containing food waste are securely covered
Adders Could Be On The Move, Authorities Warn
In the UK, adders could be on the move due to the current warm weather, authorities have warned.
The National Trust has said that people should be vigilant if they are out walking in the countryside, as the adders may be sunning themselves on paths and in open areas.
The trust has also advised walkers to watch where they are walking, and to avoid picking up stones or sticks as they may disturb snakes.
An adder bite is painful and can cause swelling, blistering and fever. In some cases, it can also lead to loss of limb or even death. However, fatalities from adder bites are rare.
If you are bitten by an adder, you should seek medical help as soon as possible.
