Have you ever seen a snake in the wild?

Dad killed one by his car and he was so upset, he brought the body and showed it to us .. It was horrible

I haveeee,
I saw one in Seaworld in Florida, just randomly roaming around, and some kid was trying to poke it with a stick and it looked so angry... haa,
I wanted it to attack him because he was being an idiot, but it didn't </3

Yes, but I call him Mankini because Nagini is a terrible name that deserves every amount of abuse it can get ;)

Out of interest, has anyone been attacked by a snake? In woods, fields or marshes? Considering how many snakes are in the UK, there isn't much news on snake attacks - though I assume the bites are either useless or they quietly move away when they can smell, hear or see us coming :P

Yeah. I saw them a few times in my life. Once was when me and my friend normally preparing ourselves for an exam. When she unzipped the bag, boom! There came a snake and I'd to say the teachers had fun catching them. Then, I saw a lot of snakes in the zoo and the safari if that one counts. :P

do slow worms count :(

I saw a sea snake in Australia on the beach- it wasn't moving but some girl was poking it with a stick- they're really poisonous! I walked pretty quickly in the other direction

Most snakes are virtually harmless or will just glide on by without really thinking about humans. As long as you know where you're treading in woodland you should be fine, though they're more affraid of you than you are of it.

There's no need to try and frighten me... I'm already petrified! :P Hopefully they would just slide by without attacking me but I'd still go crazy if I saw one.... even moreso in this country! :(

Forgot to say, we went on an Airboat Ride in Florida and saw a water snake too! We got quite close but thankfully I was on the opposite side of the boat! :P

Never seen a wild snake, but apparently the only (or nearest?) cure for a venomous bite is in Liverpool.

I have seen an Adder and a Grass snake. I saw an Adder when my Uncle and myself were collecting fire wood it was kind of half in half out this hole and I saw a grass snake in a field.

No, but i've seen a very very big snake skin in the south of france
