   Anyone remember the pic I posted last year of a possible smoothy at Ash?(Thread smoothy or not smoothy) Also I found a skin near to the same area.

Well late last year I put out a few tins and myself and Paul (aka snake) went to check them today. We found two smoothies, one subadult and one adult male . All these sightings (the photo, skin and two snakes are over quite a large area so it would seem that they're quite widespread.

I'm chuffed!

I expect there will be some pics from Paul soon.

All the best everyone,

Alan

	Nice piccies. What sort of time did you check the tins? I'm curious because I feel a visit to one of my sites is in order very soon... Next year, perhaps we should get a few of us together and go herping, it'd be nice to meet up with a few of the regs on here. Mark
