Sorry for my above post I thought you were in the U.S.

In the U.K. you are lucky to have the opportunity to own them. Grumble, grumble.

But Steve, you get all the fun over there. I mean all the sub- species of Thamnophis in one big garden. Countless other species that you could shake a stick at and what have we got here. 3 native and 1 none native species. All of the natives are protected. One has total protection while the other two are protected against harm but you can keep them in captivity but you can't trade them. AND one of those is venomous! The other 'Alien' Species is the Esculapian Rat Snake of which there are two known breeding populations. One in London and the other in Wales. I'm coming over there!!!

Yep! And guess what? It's raining as I type. I gotta migrate west or to Western Canada ( Manitoba ,Vancouver Island) Sounds good to me.

It just rains in Washington, too. It hasn't rained snakes in about 9 years.
