A man from Lamia, who was in front of a rare sight, jumped up when he saw a viper to take walks in the yard of his house.
The incident happened on Wednesday morning (13/3) in the house of Afanos Lamias and the man spoke to lamiareport.gr, stating that he himself removed the snake, because he is familiar with nature.
Based on what he mentioned, this particular species is the only one dangerous to humans, but the viper never attacks a human unless it feels threatened or you step on it, as happens most of the time in the fields where it hides extremely well.
The good weather, almost all winter, resulted not only in the plants, which bloomed before Spring was well on its way, but also in the hibernating animals. They usually “wake up” at the beginning of April, however, as early as the first half of March, snakes are walking around the yards.
Some snakes in Greece are considered endangered species (such as the little viper). They are beneficial to nature and to human societies as they feed on mice and rats, so it is better to take care that they do not come near our homes (clearing plots of grass and garbage).
Unfortunately, because many do not know their usefulness, but also the fact that the vast majority of them are harmless and try to kill them, thus favoring the existence of other harmful animals.
