Grass snake

Just found a 2 ft long grass snake snagged up in my fruit netting.

Just spent 30 minutes cutting it free, during which time all it did was hiss, writhe and make a right old fuss

It's free now, although it does have a few loops of netting still wrapped round it, but it was the best I could do. Hope it's ok...

Hissing Sid

Hope he lives to slither another day

Kill it, it's the agent of Satan.

Seen a couple of adders but not a grass snake.

I did have to come and do a quick google on it before I got too close as I've not seen one before and I wasn't sure what it was. Fortunately the first image on google was about as identical as you could wish for so I knew it was harmless. Pretty little thing it was too.

The adder is the only poisonous snake in this country and they are easy to identify.

We used to have slow worms at our old house

They're the ones with the abacus.
