 Can anybody identify this little beauty? About one centimetre diameter and at least 30 CMS long...  I very very nearly stood on it when walking the dogs this evening.

Definitely not! I like wildlife. Too many people immediately want to kill wild animals from ignorance. Luckily, I am not totally ignorant ????

I used to own a few of these. They are a primitive snake called a xenopeltid, or sunbeam snake. That is to say they don't belong to pythons, boas, or the "advanced" caenophidian snakes, to which other familiar snakes belong. Sunbeams are beautiful and iridescent, are non-venomous, and cannot draw blood if they bite. If you don't like snakes, then ironically, these are nice to have around, being snake eaters themselves, and harmless to man.
