    ah! Berg adder, that’s the name I couldn’t get to. I could see that it resembles the puffadder..

    Jaco knows his stuff. Mind you Richie i’m quite impressed. Beg adders are tricky because they’re much less common than puffies. The main difference is that berg adders are a lot smaller overall. An easy way to distinguish is to look for the chevrons found only in puff adders.
