Crossed vipers can be identified by the characteristic zigzag pattern on their backs. They aren‘t aggressive and only carry a very limited supply of poison. Extensive sunbathing is crucial for crossed vipers in order for their sperms to ripe and for the embryos to develop.

Nature can only remain beautiful when we grant it sufficient space. That's why for every sold quartet game we make a little donation to the regional federation of bird protection in Bavaria (Landesverband für Vogelschutz in Bayern e.V., LBV) to protect half a square meter of unspoiled nature. The LBV does not only protect the biosphere. It also runs an eagle hut in Bad Hindelang, one of the best spots to be informed about and to observe golden eagles, which is only one of there many environmental projects.
