ooh, I got a headache

this young Puff Adder 'staggered' into the yard and retreated under an old vehicle; not good news with 5 dogs loose in the yard so it was action stations - engage capture & release mode.

All was not well with the snake, however, its head was covered in blood and rather excessively flattened; move to plan B, capture and lock box in bathroom. The situation didn't look good but after 2 days there was an increase in voluntary movement from zero to visible signs of life.....well, I still wasn't very hopeful but it recovered sufficiently to be given a chance:
