| When its warm quickly over turn some rocks ull be sure to find one eventually. You got to be quiet and quick for slow worms they can dissapear quite fast |

ive been reading up about keeping grass snakes and its 50/50 with what ive read as to weather you can take them from the wild an keep them as pets.
i know you cant sell or trade them but can breed an sell this offspring if you can prove their CB.
not that im planning on catching an keeping one im just interested |

| It's better to return the. To the wild. They are too hard to breed in captivity. |

I live next door to miles and miles and miles of countryside and the only wild Reptile I've ever seen was a very dead, very chewed up (by some sort of machine) Slow Worm : (
I do often catch Frogs and Toads though (just to admire and put back again), and I love them : )
Very nice Snakey though. I do really like their patterns. |
Just me and my zoo. |
