US EditionWhere to find snakes in the UK including the venomous Adder and rare Smooth Snake
- The UK hosts three native snake species, including the venomous Adder, found from mainland Scotland to Devon hotspots as of 2025.
- These snakes appear across varied habitats because Adders are widespread, Grass Snakes mainly inhabit England and Wales, and Smooth Snakes survive in isolated managed reserves.
- Adders grow 60-80cm and keep a low profile; Grass Snakes reach up to one meter with olive-green color; Smooth Snakes are small, shy, and heathland specialists.
- The RSPB advises spotting snakes by scanning south-facing areas in early spring as they bask after hibernation, and warns bites are uncommon but require medical attention if provoked.
- These facts suggest conservation efforts, especially for scarce Smooth Snakes dependent on reserves like RSPB Arne, remain crucial amid habitat loss from development.
