[edit] V. aspis in central Brittany
I would just like to say that I have found a viper and have had reports of at least 8 vipera aspis aspis babies in Central Brittany (the northwest peninsula of France). 193.248.10.86 17:56, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
- Are you sure it wasn't V. berus? If so, according to Mallow et al. (2003), V. a. aspis is found "in most of France, except areas bordering the English Channel," while Street (1979) states that in eastern France, its range "extends about as far north as Meurthe-et-Moselle." In light of these descriptions, and after studying the maps supplied with the aforementioned publications, it looks to me that your find may be consistent with the extreme northeastern part of its range. --Jwinius 19:55, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
