Summary In the venomous viviparous snakeVipera aspis, plasma aldosterone concentration shows significant seasonal changes mainly related to temperature-dependent behavior. A difference is also present between newborns and adults. A correlation between sodium and potassium status and aldosterone plasma level in active and inactive life is suggested.
