Been on here a while but not posted for a few years, used to be really into all my uk reps but then had to work full time and various travelling meant i lost track but now really keen on looking again, sadly i dint live in a area were theres lots of reps but im off to north wales porthmadog area next week and im aware its brill for reps, can anyone give any areas dont worry i know not specific sites even though it would be great but just general areas? Also is there any areas closer to home ? Im south liverpool i know lizards at formby but any other lizards at a north chesire south merseyside or snakes? Thanks

hi phillip

good to hear from you again. you've been missed!

i have only seen slowworm and viv lizard around porthmadog but know adders are there. basically, any suitable habitat with scrub, scree, heather bracken etc will have reptiles there. 

good luck

we stayed at a campsite called tyddyn adi which is directly opposite greenacres. there looks to be a lot of really good habitat either site of the caravan park leading to the beach. there will be plenty of reptiles there. the ones we saw were over the main road and a little higher up in the hills along dry stone walls and under corrugated tins and slates around an old farm.

across the road from greenacres, down the track to the campsite then head left. i,m going back six or seven years so anything could have happened to the cover objects but there were lots of slates lying around and some tin sheets. there are also dry stone walls with loose stones around the base. plenty of refugia for slowies certainly.

good luck
