Is there a cure for grass snake obsession? After seeing maybe one every few years through my life, last year I realised they were present on my local waterside walk, since when I have spent more and more time looking for them. After half a dozen sightings last year,and using this forum to learn more about them, this year I have already had over 40 sightings, I am starting to recognise individuals, and am starting to feel that a day without grass snakes is a day with something missing. Yesterday found me lying on the grass, oblivious to what passers-by might be thinking, getting face to face with a beautiful two-footer who didn't seem to object to my presence. Is there any hope for me?

The only temporary fix in many grass snake locations seems to be when the stingers get so high that laying face down to get a closer look becomes unfeasible.  Ouch!!st rick39232.634375
