Snakes

I've seen a snake that does not match the description of native snakes, could it be an exotic species?

Quick answer
It could be a native snake with unusual colouring or it may be an escaped pet.

Further information
Occasionally exotic snakes appear in gardens; these are nearly always escaped/released pets. If the snake you have seen does not match any of the descriptions of native snakes contact the RSPCA. Do not attempt to catch the snake yourself as it may be venomous.
