We have grass snakes!http://www.flickr.com/photos/ara-chloroptera/?saved=1
Escaped from heated propagator and captured making a break for it
across our living room floor!
I will release them tomorrow when it's warmed up a bit.


Update .
All the eggs have hatched. We had twenty one in total.
Surprisingly there were no failed to hatch ones.

What a great thing you've done, harry, after accidentally disturbing the
clutch.
Congratulations!

The local environment man from the council came today. I had
previously
spoken to him on the telephone. Left some leaflets about
constructing places for snakes to hibernate and lay eggs. I might
have a go at this. Quite a bit of work though.
