0 Athy 901 Report post #2 Posted April 7, 2018 If the author has identified it correctly, unless you're a small mammal or a bird you have nothing to worry about. I have only rarely seen snakes in the wild. Whenever I have, I have been struck by their beauty. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

0 philjw 47 Report post #6 Posted February 11 I met a grass snake in the water on the other side of Braunston on the South Oxford a couple of years ago. It was swimming really well. I think this one is also a grass snake not a Burmese Python. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 NB Esk 201 Report post #7 Posted February 11 Once came across one similar to that at Ferrybridge lock, it had coiled itself neatly round a bollard that we were going to tie up to for the night. Assume it was getting heat from the bollard which had been in the sunshine all day. Found another bollard, lol...... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

0 Sea Dog 1333 Report post #10 Posted February 12 I'd have put that down as a British grass snake which is often found near water and can spend a great deal of its time in it. Is that not what it is? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
