"Gary John" wrote in message ... Hi group, I have been recommended to post here from a fellow member. I have a goldfish pond in the back garden here in the south west of England and found a long snake in there last night. Will this scare or harm my goldfish and, if so, what can I do about it please? Sounds like like a Grass snake. Is it green ? If so, they eat frogs and toads and fish. Adders (or Vipers) which are poisonous are shorter and fatter, and have black markings. If you're not sure seek help Peter |

What I meant was for you to get help, as I wouldn't want you bitten :-) Might be worse, could have been a very large spider shudder Peter |

What about calling your local zoo for recommendations? -- McKoi.... the frugal ponder... EVERYONE: "Please check people's headers for forgeries before flushing." NAMES ARE BEING FORGED.
