Hi,
I've read that there are a lot of snakes in Bulgaria, including the most venomous snake in Europe the Nose Horned Viper, Vipera ammodytes.
With snakes of various varieties being sighted fairly frequently - living in fields, in woodland, on roads where they lay to warm in the sun, on beaches, in the sea, in rivers, in gardens, in trees, in cellars, in walls, in barns etc. Especially more so in rural Bulgaria.
How frequently have you seen a wild snake in Bulgaria?
Also, Bulgaria having warmer summers than Britain has its fair share of bugs, insects, spiders etc not present in Britain.
Including the false widow spider which can make a nasty bite as reported in the media over recent years.
So are you aware of creatures that can and do have a nasty bite or sting, which can and do cause swelling or infection in humans?
And I've not even mentioned ticks.
Perhaps Bulgaria has the perfect climate and vegetation for these types of creatures to thrive in.
I'm interested in your personal experience with all this in Bulgaria, including facts what you have learned.
Thanks
Lee
