reptile species in Europe, in Poland there are only 9 ones (4,5% of them). All of the Polish reptile species are strictly protected. In the territory of the WNP there are at present 5 reptiles, those are: the slow worm Anguis fragilis, the sand lizard Lacerta agilis, the viviparous lizard Lacerta vivipara Phot.3, the grass snake Natrix natrix, and the adder Vipera berus Phot.4. Until recently the European pond turtle Emys orbicularis was present in the Park, but the changes the environment has undergone resulted in the species’ extinction here.

The adder’s populations are highly endangered in the territory of the park. Over the past years the specie has drastically reduced its number, which has been caused by man’s activity. The lack of sufficient knowledge on the reptile and still observed superstitions result in ruthless killing both by tourists and the local people. The adder never bites people unless provoked – when stepped on, touched or caught. Biting instances are extremely rare, and after the blood serum is applied, the victim quickly recovers.
