Yeah, I hear you. You have to careful in the jungle. I remember almost stepping on a coral snake in Costa Rica. Or almost touching the bullet ants when navigating around the trees. The jungle is a fascinating but dangerous place ;)

You are right, if we want to enjoy nature then we have to respect it, I was one day last summer here in the hills of western Romania and I came across a snake, I leave you a picture.

Wow, that´s a beautiful specimen, thanks for sharing! But nothing for those with ophidiophobia :D

Yes of course, on our walk up the hill I thought the snakes had gone into the ground because the cold had come, but unfortunately my wife almost stepped on it.
I showed several pictures of him to some reptile specialists and guess what, they told me that such specimens should not be found here in our area.
This specimen was huge I think it was over 3 meters long and quite thick.

Over 3 meters? Wow! I think such big snakes don´t live anywhere in Europe! It must have been some exotic pet snake that escaped and got in the wild... Glad that you and your wife didn´t get injured.

This possibility the snake specialist told me, that it may have escaped from somewhere.
