First Grass Snake of the Season
Went to stay with my mother for a few days, on the way back from the ferret shed (to see the new babies) i spotted a baby grass snake, it had beautiful markings for such a young one. Was only around 6 inches long, but was incredibly fast.
They have some interesting behaviour, they don't actually bite (they obviously are able to they just don't seem to) but they do pretend to - they shoot for you but with their mouth closed. Its hard not to flinch a little as instinct tells you to move your hand away from a darting snake, but i was surprised at how fast he was.
