swanseajack 227 Posted September 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 Are they poisons snakes? Good shots fecking hope not Nah ! only kidding, Grass snakes are not poisonous there defence is they shit the most vile smelling liquid over you, and if you got a weak stomach it'll make you puke... First of all they hiss and pretend to strike you but they don't bite, then they feign death when you cop hold of them, go all limp and the mouth opens like you twatted it with a shovel, see pic above, once they know they're not getting eaten they seem to calm down and pose for the pics.. listen to me, like I'm an expert, first time i seen them is this year..

leegreen 2,153 Posted October 14, 2008 Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 Smart pics, I'm glad you mentioned the smell I could almost smell it through the screen. I've got some good pic's of a grass snake on a full grown female toad, one day I will learn how to put up pics :blush: . Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest foxyjo. Posted October 14, 2008 Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 Jack, what bloody marvellous photos!!! Grass snakes...beautiful things. We have one who is a regular to my grandmothers greenhouse. They can get huge!! Her house is right on the edge of some cliffs so we get all sorts, lizards, adders, (occasionally), slow worms, all lovely to see. As kids we used to pick them all up, (not the adders!!!), and your right about the stench, once smelt never forgotten!!!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
