Ok so we are going for Ladder snake? When I get there I will look about and see if I can find them.

Are they appropriate to handle? My son is obsessed with holding herps when we find them in the U.K, including when we find Adders and Smooth Snakes!( which I tell him he shouldnt be handling as hes not old enough for a licence) :lol:
