    It is, yes. https://fi.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kyy It’s an adder, kyy in Finnish. Its bite won’t kill you though.

    Vipera berus, European adder. Venomous, but it won’t bite you unless you fuck with it or step on it unwittingly.

    They’re venomous but pretty chill bois and protected by nature conservancy laws.

  3. Laiska_saunatonttu on

    Yes, but not deadly for healthy adults. I suggest leaving it alone if possible.

    Yes, it’s a vipera berus. Seek medical care if bitten, though for most healthy adults a bite should not be an immediately life threatening situation AFAIK. This type of dangernoodle can also be black without a visible zigzag pattern.

    With all that being said, please do not kill it! They are a protected species. There’s guides online about how to safely remove it from your yard using a bucket and a rake, and release it somewhere more suitable.

    Keep your distance from those things! They can move surprisingly fast when aggravated!

  6. Yeah, don’t pet.

    We have two snakes, one venomous (this) and one that is not. Really, don’t pet either. Let them be.

    Please if you see one somewhere leave it alone and don’t post it’s location to internet. Normally they leave areas with human trafic by themselves to sunbathe in peace. Some sick fucks like to trespass just to kill them

    First warm and sunny spring day. They come on to the rocks and gather energy.

    Usually avoids human

    Side question: what were you listening to when you took this pic?

  10. Tommonen on

    The only venomous animal in finland, if you dont count bees etc mild stuff. Leave it be, they are not aggressive or trying to eat you

    Unfriendly snek. And illegal to kill them, so avoid them – make some stomping noise to let them know you’re around.

  12. ReggieCorneus on

    Yes. Stomping the ground will make them scurry away, they usually do not let you come this close. We have plenty of them in the old family farm, you just stomp the ground when you walk and they will take get the fuck out of dodge. Very shy and almost impossible to see unless they are basking on rocks. They love the concrete stairs facing south in the farm but usually you just see a tail disappearing in the grass and you can’t find it even if you tried.

    Takes quite a bit to make them angry too, they have to be cornered and see no other option than to fight. You can even mess with them a bit, as long as they have open ground they will just try to get away from you (i don’t mean hurt them, i don’t know what would happen then since i’ve never hurted one…i see them more as friends, they help with rodent problem..).
