This snake appeared in our kitchen this evening! Is this an adder/viper? Is it dangerous? Richard picked it up (with gloves) and threw it over the hedge. Could it have brothers and sisters in the garden?
This looks like a grass snake, I was told last week that they have a long slim tail and a rounded head, whereas an adder has a shorter stumpy tail and a sort of square head in the diagonal.
We have had a few babies in our pool and found a skin 1.2m long on our patio steps.

Thanks for that Brian. I was hoping that it wasn't dangerous. I hope you are enjoying the French life.
