Snake in a barrow!

[raingodz]

On saturday morning I was on the yard and I went to get my fork out of my wheel barrow and somthing moved and I jumpped out of my skin! I did not expect to see a snake in my barrow!

Sadly only had my phone on me so not the best photo:

awesome, I love snakes!

[raingodz]

lol I kind of have a phobia :eek:

[Sofi P]

I think I would still be startled if I came across one in a barrow! Similar to when a mouse jumped out of a rug I was taking down, I'm not affraid of mice but I must admit screaming a little in shock!

[Libbyo]

OMG- Id of run screaming. Im a servere phobic. OMG

[Yann]

Awww it's only diddy! I wonder what sort it was? We sometimes see them out hacking and occasionally in the summer fields, I think it's really special as they're meant to be pretty rare these days. Not great if you're phobic and not something you expect to find in a barrow either! :D

[notpoodle]

:eek: another snake phobic here :eek: i would have run a mile!! i'm cool with rats and stuff but i draw the line at snakes!!!!!!!!!!!!! what did you do ? dump it on the muckheap?!

[raingodz]

lol no I walked off and came back later and it had gone!

[JustJas]

I have to ask did it blink or did it lick its eyelids as you freaked out?

I love reptiles. Looking at the size and colour it is not snake but a slow-worm (a lizard without legs).

I have to mention BTW raingodz I love your sig quote!

[raingodz]

It was moving very vigerosly, did not notice it it blinked or licked its eyelids

I LOVE snakes - pretty unusual to find one 'out and about' in the UK this time of year though, isn't it?

I frequently find them in the water buckets, feed buckets and rain barrel here - but only think I ever saw one in the UK. :)

[kayjayhorses]

before running off you should have checked first! lol I wonder how it got in there as I can't imagine it climbing up - maybe a bird dropped it.

[s4sugar]

JustJas beat me to it... it looks like a slow worm.

I love reptiles and used to have a colony of grass snakes at my old farm.
I had a bridleway through the middle and "adder sanctuary please don't step on the snakes" was very effective at getting walkers to keep their dogs under control.

[JustJas]

Thanks s4sugar- glad I was not off track!

I love watching them this time of year...

[raingodz]

the colour reproduction on my camera phone is not good, it was dark green and had yellow stripes on the top of its head

[rtk]

Yuk, poor you. I dont really like snakes and I hope to god I never meet a worm that big, I have a major worm phobia




I have to mention BTW raingodz I love your sig quote!

Me too :D, took me a minute though

In that case it was a grass snake:)

[fairlady]

Lol, I wouldn't have stayed around long enough to take in what
colour it was let alone what type of snake it was:p

I don't sort of mind slow worms but anything else:eek:

However RATS are my biggest phobia, I absolutely loath them.

[diplomaticandtactful]

we have adders here, I almost stood on one, you have never seen anyone run so fast or scream so loud.....

[ladyluxor]

oh my daiz, when i was reading then scrolled down and saw the start of a pic i didnt really wanna see it.

I hate snakes with a passion.... i dnt even know why.

Thanks :) part of the down side of working with computers (and reading too much Dilbert).

[Trewsers]

Is it a Blackadder?! lol, I had a slow worm a bit back and I thought it was a snake! It kind of made me jump, but I quite like them in a way!
