  • slow worms are harmless nothing to worry bout but adders.... they are lol

  • i picked up an adder from here and took it home then brought it back was soo cool and i was either 11 or 12 when i didn it

  • i lived on the outskirts of the ashdown forest and a guy down the road got bit by an adder in his garden

  • UFCNUTTA; I don't have Adders in my garden-plenty of Slow-Worms though! But I have seen them in the countryside.....and keep my distance! I am sure people DO have them in their gardens, though it could be very dangerous if they have children. Personally, I would LOVE to come across a Grass Snake!

  • @eibon81 Im in South Wales too, do these things get into peoples gardens??? im sure i heard something weird the other day!

  • Yes, I have seen adders as big as this, here in South Wales.....but I tend to keep a respectful distance. Don't want to get bitten-very nasty that!

  • Snake thinks........

    another idiot with a camera. Dose this mean im gonna end up on you tube

  • this is a huge adder! must be a female she is awesome. maybe close to 4ft wonderful find!

  • I used to live near Ashdown Forest. In the 1960s I used to catch adders there, by distracting the head while sneaking round to grab the tail. Then I let them go. By the way, please don't try it! I only did this a few times; once I knew I could, I just admired them and left them alone. I also found out that unlike the adults, very young adders CAN twist back up and reach your hand! I only picked up a young one once, as soon as it started to curl up towards my hand I naturally let go!

  • shes a beautyful snake in my opinion
