I'd just recommend that you don't go to see 'Snakes on a Plane'. If you were worried beforehand, you'll be petrified afterwards. On the other hand, it does have some remarkably creative suggestions for how to get rid of the blighters.

Thank you for all your help & web sites to visit. Unfortunately, I can't find any baby snake pictures. I presuming that this is a harmless grass snake and the white marks @ the back of it's head will eventually spread around the neck area more once it becomes an adult. Don't worry John H, it/they will be left alone. It was just a shock seeing one, especially with children in the garden. Keep you posted if I see anymore. Hopefully get a picture of it.

Does it have yellow "ears" if so it is a harmless Grass Snake. What ever the outcome please leave them alone,

Can anyone help me? I have found a baby snake in my garden, close to the house. I have been on web sites to try and determine what snake it is. It is not any of the usual British snakes. This one had a viper shaped head, grey/green in colour with a very clear white marking on the back of it's head. I am sure there are more snakes, and obviously a mummy and daddy snake some where. Who do I contact to remove them and does anyone know what sort of snake it is? I have a young child and also pets.
