H2oDunc Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 Greetings all. Was sat watching TV when the Missus called me outside. Just along the garden wall was this snake. Sorry not the best picture but wasn't going to get too close. Around 1.7 mtrs long. Very small head with a dark brown strip down the centre of its back. Missus said it was lucky ? Just wondering what type it was. I found a lovely skin one had shed a couple of months back. Cheers all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
