Suburban snakes, lizards, and screams.
Whilst taking a walk to the local shops this last Sunday, my wife and daughter-inlaw came upon a snake that was on a footpath, which was also near a main road. They thought it was a fake rubber snake, but as they walked towards it, it quickly took off into a wooden area. Of course my wife let out a serious scream (which I heard from my back garden
 ).Less than 5 minutes later into their walk, they then saw a lizard on a brick wall, which was down a pathway used by many people daily. What were the chances of seeing both a lizard and a snake, within 5 minutes of each other, in a built up suburban area?! Have any members on here, ever seen either a UK lizard or snake in this type of enviroment, rather than seeing one "out in the field"???. Note- They did manage to take a photo of the lizard, using a mobile phone, and it appears to be a common lizard, brown in colour, and looks to be 4 to 5 inches long. Unfortunately they were too busy screaming to think about taking a pic of the snake, plus it moved pretty quick! By what they described though, it was at least 18 inches long, greenish/brown in colour (probably a grass snake), although they cannot remember if it had a yellow ring around its head or not, definately not a slow worm though, my wife has seen them before...T.T.
