What native reptiles have you seen this year?

I have seen slow worms, one baby in my garden yesterday
Common Lizards, hundreds of them

But the only snakes I have seen have been adders which were dead on the road.

I've seen live grass snakes, found a dead adder (yet so see them live over here). I also took a trip to Dorset (with a reptile club) and found a smooth snake (Britain's rarest reptile apparently, yes we have 3 snakes here not 2 as most people think). A few little lizards and a few slow worms also.

i have seen them all, apart from the smooth snake...

Saw 3 common lizards today...walking home from the train station. Now i know they are there, i will have a look every day.

Wanting to get a few for a breeding project...Hmmmmmmmm Whats the laws RE captive breeding, and relese of the animals. If i use only outdoor stuff, and am careful with hygene etc, i wont be introducing microbes into the populas, and i could give the local populas a huge boost.

Hmm i could also collect from further afield, as i know a few places, so as to deepen the gene pool. I will be off researching this now, but if anyone knows, please comment, and help me.
