“Whilst they might be problematic for frogs and toads, they’re safe to human beings.

“Snakes might have a slithery track record with some individuals however, simply as they consume frogs and toads, they, in turn, can be meals for badgers, foxes, hedgehogs and some birds.

“Numbers of lawn snakes have actually been decreasing due, in big part, to environment loss and, just like all native reptiles in the UK, it is prohibited to hurt or eliminate them.”
