""a deep, closed-out valley at 2 300m altitude." - does that sound like likely puff adder habitat? Or might this have been a berg adder bite?

WW without symptoms it will be impossible to tell.
If anyone can get more information we would really appreciate it. Symptoms and the treatment would go a long way to solving this question.

That is why the quality of posts on this forum is so important, because its being referenced too.
But more info on the bite would help. It seems to me that it wasnt a very bad bite!
