Reptiles nearby Mosel - valley
by Piet Maljaars - 8/5/2010 12h28Hello everybody,
In June I'm planning a trip with a friend to the region south of Nancy (France) near the village Tonnoy. Main goal is fishing in the Mosel, but I'm also very interested in herpetofauna. Does somebody know something about animals there?
I'm especially interested in:
- in which habitats I can find the Asp viper there (must be present). In the river valley or in the forests?
- if the Hierophis viridiflavus and Zamenis longissimus are present there. It must be around there where is the northernmost area of distribution of those snakes.
Thanks in adavance,
Piet
