2007 Smooth snakes

The Smooth snakes have now emerged from hibernation. Surrey is fortunate to be one of only three counties with native populations of this beautiful snake.

Slow-worms were also out this week, just leaving Grass snakes to emerge for the 'full set'.

Some pictures below, taken today, of an adult male Surrey Smooth snake. (Like Adders, the males emerge from hibernation before the reproductive females).
