No April Fool's joke

I didn't know that, Stefan. I've witnessed quite a few wild matings, but never seen a mating ball. I guess it would depend on population densities?

Nice picture, LeAnn. The only thing in my back yard is the shadow of my house!

Great photo, LeAnn. Thanks for sharing it with us.

I think it depends on how far north you are. A shorter summer forces them to hurry up and also reduces the number of places where they can survive the winter. So a lot of grass snakes inevitably end up in the same place.
