From doing a Google search it appears you will find reptiles in Delamere Forest, I presume you're mainly after Adders?. Have a look in April and let us know how you get on. Alex. |

I think that Delamere Forest is just the name of the park, I'm sure you will find some open sunny spots close to cover where, with luck, you may spot an Adder, GS or CL. You will need to tread carefully and with no sudden movements, keeping your eyes peeled at all times. I'm fortunate that I live in Dorset and get to see our native herpetofauna frequently. Good luck (and take a camera). |

Thankyou Tony, you've hit the nail on the head here, whereas my explanation didn't quite, well, hit the nail on the head! Alex. |

Yup, I love that part of UK too.
My wife and I got married in Bournemouth, then across to Studland for the reception at the Banks arms and a romantic few days in a hotel there. I'd often visit the serpenterium and have a look around every time I was in the area. Prior to this as a teenager and into my early twenties i'd visit Studland with some mates to look for the big six on Studland Heath but, we usually got distracted by the females of our species on the beach 
We'd make notes of course, were they feeding at the time? Gravid? etc etc |

I heard about this ,it must've been bloody devastating, i'd of been fuming too.
Unfortunately it was some time after you left Tony, there was a pair of xanthina there , a trio of gabs, puffs, ammodytes, a lovelly big atrox, some cerastes and a few others that i can't remember. Shortly afterwards my first visit i took that step into the world of keeping venomous. Was the new guinea croc there when you were curator? |
