Re: Grass snakes in the compost

I wonder why? but it's like slugs and snails carrying lungworm ? of foxes with hookworm etc... I suppose it's a tiny risk to get salmonella from them if you touch them a lot. OH used to keep snakes ribbon snakes and corn snakes way before we met though, I've seen some really nice looking snakes at the pet shop but they're a bit scary and I don't like seeing them in little tanks with not much room to wiggle around .
