It's a long thick french one, if we'd come across that on a walk the mrs would still be running/screaming now !!!!!,

We were walking Bob n Di's dog Freddie when he suddenly stopped (clever doggie) and stepped back as the snake came out of the grass.

PS we stopped too. :Eeek:

It is a western whip snake (Coluber viridiflavus: Coluber ) beautiful, eats lizards and rodents. It is a constrictor, not poisonous. Put it in a bag and send it over.:ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

Doesn't matter what it is...it's beautiful:thumb:

I don't see any beauty in snakes. They have always given me the creeps since my brother and I stumbled across an adder when we were young..

I know a lot of people don't like them, my good lady is one, but I have handled a good few over the years (non-venomous) some big bu**ers too and I realy do like them and lizards, I was once given a 5ft Iguana to take around a show ......I was ecstatic...
