All of the native ones, except for the Smooth Snake. I've never lived in the right part of the UK to spot one of those...but someday

Hoping to go on a training day next year so I can take part in some reptile survey work in my area.

I like in Birkdale where the Sand lizards are from but I am yet to see one in the wild. Few people round here have them on display and you can go in and have a look etc.

when i was a kid i used to catch comman lizards and keep them in a huge fish tank that i converted and they used to breed for fun i would grow on the babys and then release them back to the wild when they was bigger ,and i used to get the odd slow worm as well ,crass snakes and adders were very comman to find as well ,i used to live just outside salisbury on salisbury plain as my dad was in the army ,it was just easy to find them in the local fields ect
