Hi all,
I saw this Grassie today in very poor condition.
I could have easily caught as it was as slow as old boots, and you can see he's not shedding properly. Do you think I should go back and take it in for some TLC for a while? R

Could it be anything to do with the lack of moisture? I dont know where you are but we haven't had any significant rain for quite some time in the south, hosepipe bans begin next month.

Could be I suppose, but he did look tatty and frail, yes I'm down here in the sarf as well.

We also found a rather tattered grass snake slough on a tin 2 weeks ago, it could have been one from last year i suppose if it was fresh it was rather tatty!
