We’ve seen Lizards and an Adder last year 💚
🐍 All six of the UK's native species can be found in . These include the incredibly rare Sand and Smooth , which are only found on a handful of sites in the whole country.
At this time of year our reptiles have recently emerged from hibernation and will be basking in the early morning sun on warmer days.
In Surrey, the Adder, Smooth Snake and Sand Lizard are mostly restricted to heathland sites. Grass Snakes, Slow Worms and Common Lizards can be found in a greater variety of habitats, including gardens.
🤓 Fun fact! The Slow Worm may superficially resemble a snake, but is actually a type of legless lizard!
