pjozzie   10 #1 Posted August 2, 2010 Was walking round Rother Valley Park today with the kids, on the driveway path near the wire ski place is, (near camping area) and straight from one side to other side of roadway path, came slithering grass snake. Has anyone else seen any? It is my first sighting in the UK ever.  uuurrrgggghhh. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Vulcan B2 Â Â 10 #2 Posted August 2, 2010 Lucky you! Snakes of any kind are rarely seen in the UK, they are very elusive. Unless you come to my house where there's 8 of 'em. (Not grass snakes tho) Gorgeous creatures:D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

It is my first sighting in the UK ever. uuurrrgggghhh.  Used to be fairly common when I was a kid living near Doncaster - I think they prefer lighter sandier soil - not likely to be found on Sheffield clay.

claire1976 Â Â 10 #10 Posted August 2, 2010 We see grass snakes regularly up at Linacre Reservoirs in Chesterfield, if we walk the dogs early on a sunny day you can see them basking on the hedge tops. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
