Herping?

I agree with garterGuy!
Also Early Spring on the first warm day. They are usually the first snakes out of hibernation, and if you know where they den, they will be sunning themselves on rocks, boards, etc. and are usually real slow, docile, and easy to catch.

Unfortuneately just not in the UK...

CrazyHedgehog, yes, sorry, as they are very fun to catch. Your Slow Worm looks like our legless lizard. I enjoyed clip of it giving birth! Babies are prettier than Mom.

CrazyHedgehog,
The Aesculapian baby snakes looked aggressive too, do you know if they tame down in captivity with handling?

[suzoo]

I can't wait for summer. Finding this site has really got me in acquisition mode.

Me too!! Me too!!! Isn't Spring yet??
I have the nerve to ask that in the worst ice storm we've ever seen in Springfield, Missouri! lol

How many snakes have you found in the wild? I've only found 2 (my garter and a timber rattler which I sat on and almost kept as a pet). But then again, I haven't really been looking and it was that garter that I found that got me interested in looking for snakes.

WOW!! Someone out there like me?? I thought I was the only one!!! My kids even think I'm weird. lol
I forgot to mention the Northern water snake I have, I plan to release her in late Spring. She was so tiny when I found her late this last fall, I didn't realize how fast they grow, she's huge already, and hate everyone but me. lol Funny how they get to know you.
