Some marine scientists believe that the birthing place of all 'Great White' sharks is the Med and the Agean.

I'll stick with digging that hole for the swimming pool in the garden, must get a big net for pulling out the Blunt Nosed Vipers from the pool first thing in the morning.

Are there that many BNVs in Cyprus rotate. I've been up to the mountains many times and have only seen one and that was crawling across the road as I turned a corner.

Pete, I Like it, but please no expert label for me, in my business that denotes a has been & drip under pressure... although it has been said.......
You may well eat when you are hungry & not rip someones leg off but that only proves you are not a shark....or Lion.....or Tiger......or
gabaston, for the sake of good order lunch break for shark is stagerred between 1200 to 1400 for day shift and 2300 to 0100 for night shift. They are receptive to negotiation however, I have an agreement in that I will not bite them if they do not bite me. Sounds fair to me but there again I'm a generous kind of guy.

No idea of the numbers, Snake George at Paphos will probably have that info. See them from time to time where I live especially at this time of the year. Certain theres been at least one in the roof of the old stone stable block in our garden as have found skin in the rafters, always go in there with one eye on the cane ceiling and one eye on the floor. Never go for a walk without a heavy stick, not to kill them as I'm not that brave but to bang the ground with if I'm walking through grass or scrub, hopefully they will move rather than me step on one. Old Cypriot lady down the road had one in her court yard last week, I tried everything I could to make it shift but eventually the Muhktar came and shot the thing, what a mess.

Worst encounter I've had with a BNV was at Araddipou dam some years ago bloody thing chased me back to the car, made it ok but then realised the passenger door window was open, panic you can say that again!
Locals tell me that from time time they see a massive BNV amongst the olive trees near the village, they never try to kill it just back away very carefully. Previous owner of the house used to grow figs in the garden but cut all the trees down when he discovered BNV's in the branches. Plenty of food for them here as we have running water and of course frogs.

Everyone in the village including us keeps cats as cats being territorial and naturally inquisitive will worry the life out of a snake eventually killing the snake by repeatedly jumping on its head, never seen it done but have seen the results.

I'm not crazy about the BNV's being around but they are probably as common here as Adders are in the UK, you just dont see them until its to late.
