One of my favourite signs ever!

Adders, of course, are vipers - the UK\'s only venomous snake (though it\'s bite is rarely deadly). There are parts of the exhibit that would be in reach of hands (hands of stupid people, of course!).

Suprised the enclosure isn't netted then like at the New Forest Reptile Centre.

completely agree with maguri, not at all dangerous, unless you are a small child 13 or less pushing it, elderly or have a weak immune system, all it will do for adults is hurt abit, have a sore body part, (like a vaccine jab -.-)

Ha! It's very close - only 100 yards or so to stagger, writhing in agony.
