August '08 2 Adder, small Grassie and a slowie all under the same 4'x2' tin! Haven't seen the grass snake since but Adder and Slowie(s) frequently share the same space.

Hi Jerry

I know several hibernacula which are shared by adders and grass snakes.  Here's a photo of two cuddled up from a year or so ago:

From March 2009 at a site on Mendip where Adders and Grass Snakes are regularly seen in close proximity (though I've only seen them this close on the one occasion).
