skycat 6,172 Posted May 25, 2017 Report Share Posted May 25, 2017 Beautiful creatures. Love grass snakes. Remember the dogs finding one in a tussock by the lake: it did the dead snake thing: flipped on its back and made a nasty stench. It looked totally dead, even had its mouth open and its tongue lolling out. I took the dogs away and watched and when it was sure it was safe it flipped the right way up again and swam off. Sometimes see them swimming along the lake bottom in the shallow, hunting. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Squeamish5 309 Posted May 25, 2017 Report Share Posted May 25, 2017 Never seen one. Am I right in thinking they're bigger than adders? What did Penny think of it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
