One of mine passed, the other is flourishing, eating chopped trout like a champ.

I will take some pics soon.

awesome little snake, and yes.. it seems to be a slow grower.

[sirtalis01]

Cool man... It sucks that you lost one...I think the line was weak, a friend of mines stood with 10 and only 4 survived...
I'm hopping mines get big enough to breed but at the rate that they are growing its going to take a few years...

Could you post some pics up?I've never seen a captive natrix let alone a wild one.

Hey Julio, These were bought from you from a friend of mine and are now in my possession. They ate pinkies for the first time last night!!!

So why are these not available in the uk? I could happen catch some but it's illegal. Do your's come from europe?

[CrazyHedgehog]

its not illegal in the uk, you can catch and keep two grass snakes.
hmm not sure where that info is, so not fully reliable,
they are not on the protected list though: http://jncc.defra.gov.uk/PDF/waca1981_schedule5.pdf
but you should note it is illegal to disturb, injure or harm nearly any British wildlife

[CrazyHedgehog]

"In England, grass snakes are protected under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 and cannot be harmed or traded without a licence, although they may legally be captured and kept in captivity."

you can sell cb offspring, but not wild caught specimens, but you can catch and keep your own

I don't know the full history on these snakes, but they originated in europe i think from poland!

One of mine is still doing great Julio.

[thamneil]

I don't think Julio is producing any this year, but does anyone in North America plan to have any for sale? I'm very interested as well!

Sorry Tim,

I forgot you were in the U.K. That will teach me to trust a profile page and the fact you posted about shipping Provent-a Mite to the U.K.
Looks like I'll need to up my meds.........again.:D

[BLUESIRTALIS]

Hey Wayne it's good to hear you still have one thriving! If you get a chance post us a pic! Do you know if yours is a male or female?

One of mine is still doing great Julio.

There are many grassnakes in the wild where i live :)
So no need to keep some in captivity.
