ERK!

 friend of mine once ran over a 5ft python in the middle of the road. She phoned the RSPCA who didn't believe her and tried to convince her it was probably a grass snake.

They came out eventually and the snake lived  ;D

Hope that one's caught soon.

Me thinks the Corn Snake suggestion might be right.

I hope you have some luck in finding it!
Dd says it isnt a corn snake as the head is too square, and she doesnt think its a albino python as its isnt yellow enough.
But cant say what it is.

I think it's Hissing Sid and the reson it has not been seen is that Batty Bat, artfull Owl, Ratty Rat and Timid Toad have got it.
Does anyone else remember that song or am I just a sad old git

No, it's under the bed or curled up in your wellies.

Well it's not under MY bed ... there's no room and it would suffocate in the dust!

And it's definitely not in my wellies either ... the only things brave enough to venture in there are my feet. And nothing would want to follow them in there, believe you me!

I sent copies of the snake picture to a lady who breeds and sells snakes.

She believes the snake is a cross between a rat snake and a corn snake.

She says its defo not made of rubber! :)

I didn't know snakes 'intermingled' with each other in a sexual sort of way Fork!

Not sure I wanted to know either ... what if cobras crossed with anacondas and all their babies crossed with ... erm ... another venomous snake breed.

WELLIES ACROSS THE WORLD WOULD BE UNSAFE  :o
