I've only seen it once in the wild (in a damp meadow). It also occurs in a green form with cream spots. Peter Peter Vaughan

We're living in a building site of a house that i'm trying to do up , along with the building of my wildlife pond and the making of a snake room. Wish I had more time for the camera Yes mate, You really should come over my way, i'd love to meet up for a touch of herping and a coffee. If you decide to just send me a PM and i'll give you my address and how to find me. AlAlan Hyde39198.4489699074 O-> O+>
