Herping Iberia

Herping Iberia · 26. July 2020

My intention in this post is to make a summary of my herp observations inside the province in this 2020 season. It has been an atypical herping year due to the quarantine imposed for the covid disease, which made impossible to go out to the field during some of the best period here, all April and the first half of May. In spite of that, the rest of May and June are also good months here specially for reptile activity, and I have been able to enjoy lots of great encounters.

This post will be dedicated to the vipers, perhaps the most wanted animals for most herpers here in Spain. We have three viper species on the Iberian Peninsula, all three belonging to the genus Vipera. I have the luck to live close to all three species here in the Castilla y León community. Now I'm going to talk separately about my observations of each one last year.
