blade basking, I'd say Suz - this clever snake is absorbing warmth by radiation and conduction on either side, like a cheese toastie!  lovely snake, I like the arrowhead 'V' marking especially.

I've never seen an adder on top of a tin. Neither have I ever seen a lizard on a tin either.

Thanks for the interest both - she is a beauty! Regarding the tins, I've seen this one many times on top (last Sunday for instance) as well as others-
A Vivap nearly on the same tin-
