The current minimap icon for adders is too difficult to distinguish from this oddities in terrain. This is especially a problem when exploring new lands, since the player doesn't know where there are thin patches of different terrain. Pretty frustrating to get ambushed by an adder and lose all your strength just because you couldn't see the minimap icon.
I think a snake in a swirly (swirlier) or helix position would be a better icon.
(edit: grammar)
