[Closed] Snakes on a trail

Same here, never come across one before but riding the old railway return at Afan looked up and saw one slip into the grass. I guess it was about 2 foot long and Im not sure which one of us was most surprised... 🙂

Nearly ran my first one over last weekend up next to the cricket pitch at Coldharbour...in 15+ years of riding had never seen one.

The one we saw was only about a foot, so i'm guessing it was a youngster. It was fairly orange too so might have been a female - well, that is what my google-fu has dug up. Nippy little blighters.

nearly ran over a rattlesnake in california once 😯

and a tarantula

Just missed a grass snake on Saturday. They can certainly move when they need to, was gone before i could get my camera out. First one i've seen for years. Saw a sloworm last week in the same area.

I see lots of adders on the Chase.. 2 here taken on my mobile phone

Biggest one I saw was one I nearly ran over in the Dothie Valley - must have been an adder about 3ft in length.

Sorry.

will someone get these mother fu*king snakes of this mother fu*king trail

I'll get me coat

Quite a few about in Swinley Forest (the Lookout) at present. Ran over one on Fri eve think - it was a grass snake. Turned back to see if it was OK but it has scarpered. Definately Adders in there.

Not a snake, but a legless lizard... saw a Slowworm on the path the otherday, presumably basking. No pics unfortunately.

You see quite a few rattlesnakes on the Redrock trails outside of Las Vegas. They tend to make you jump when you first see them!

ive seen a few in cannock saw one last week over sherbrook way

twice at dalby forest 2 trip in a row.

Nearly fell on a small adder in the Mendips - had just got up over a little lip and was almost stationary when I noticed something moving under my pedal which completely distracted me - had the foresight to put a big pedal stroke in, otherwise would have done the classic not unclipping the SPD moment.

I saw snakes on a plane once - absolute crap.

I've seen a few sunning themselves on the trails in Dalby - early AM usually
Another one yesterday that I only just missed

Saw one tonight! About 5pm crossing a minor road near Hardwick Hall.About a foot and a half long,all black and moving quickly in a "Sidewinder" motion.Chuffed to bits to see one 😀

When i was in oz i came across a big snake on the trail. It seemed pretty laid back so i bunnyhopped it and kept on going. When I told this little story to my colleagues they asked "Was it big?" - Yes, "Was it brown" - Yes. "Probably a big brown then, its the 3rd most deadly snake in the world." I actually was more bothered about the fact the Aussies couldnt come up with a more imaginative name for a deadly snake.
