Topic: What is this snake?
Hi I know nothing about snakes, but found this in my garden in SE Cornwall on Saturday morning. It was about 1 metre long, and 3cm across. It stayed sunbathing all day before slithering away around 6pm. I assumed it was a grass snake, but the markings weren't similar to those on any images I've seen. Mind you, it doesn't look like an adder either. Can anyone help? Vicky  |

Thanks for that. It certainly looks like some corn snake pictures I've found. I'm a bit surprised, as I live in the middle of nowhere! Also I've read that they're nocturnal, and this was happily sunbathing for 8 hours. Do I need to report this sighting somehow, or are they relatively common escapees? Thanks again for the info Vicky |
