    Re: any accidental wild Tham population in Europe

    I believe there is talk about some wild Thamnophis being found in Europe. Can't remember who I was talking to when that came up. I don't think anything has been comfirmed but then again I may be wrong.

    Have heard about it, including a supposedly established population in southern Sweden, but it appears that it's a myth based on one or possibly two specimens found in the last 20-30 years.

    Yup, in what you in english would call a province, in "Halland", about 1 1/2 hours south of Gothenburg, there supposedly is a population of T.S Parietalis. As Stefan says though, is seems to be more of a myth upon further investigation online. I live fairly close, and had I believed there was any substance to this rumour, I would be out herping right now
