is it really that easy to catch a snake in the wild.

Yes.

This may be an ignorant question but is it really that easy to catch a snake in the wild. Might it be an escaped or released pet. We don't get many snakes here in the UK but when I have come across them there's no way you'd easily be able to catch one. We have had pet owners release things like terrapins in our rivers and they survive and I'm sure if we didn't have such cold winters and miserable summers we would start seeing released snakes too.

Hi, Ruth, We have 3 native species and one none native established species here in the UK. The Adder is our only venomous snake and it is our most common, The Grass Snake is our largest native snake and is common in some places and rare in others and The Smooth snake again common in some areas and is mainly confined to the southern counties.The Esculapian Rat snake is none native and the largest of all. I believe there is a population in the London area and another somewhere in wales.
