Spring Reptiles


A trip to my local reptile site today revealed plenty adders and common lizards making the most of the fine spring sunshine.  I was particularly pleased to see several of last years juveniles for both species, indicating a healthy breeding population.  The weather is still a little cold for grass snakes but I'm sure they'll be appearing soon.
