(And it possibly became even longer after all that pulling. :mrgreen: )

I have to go. Keep on watching!

Lol, yes, I saw the pulling :rotf:

Was it a snake or a Slowworm (Anguis fragilis)?

Hagnat, it was an adder, I believe. (Viper) Vipera berus (L.)

http://www.wild-scotland.org.uk/species/82/adder/
A snake with a distinctive black zig-zag pattern down its back. A female can be up to 750mm in length and usually has a brown colour; males are smaller, up to 600mm, and have a light grey colour.
Both males and females can be black in their more northern ranges, but on close inspection, in sunshine, the black zig-zag pattern is still visible against the blue black of the scales

It all happens so fast! :slap:

First, Karl regurgitated fish (roach)

The second pile looked more predigested. I could not see what it was either.

I'm not an expert either, Timea.
Since there are only two snake species living in Estonia, one of us is probably right. :D
The reptiles living in Estonia are listed here:

Is there someone on the forum who can tell us what snake this was, please?

I can only help to reveal my experiences as a child.
Blind crawlers and grass snakes were curling up in my arms, for me they were snakes. I had an armistice with Kreuzottern. Hagnat can be right.

When I was a child we found a large Grass Snake, took it home in an old bucket we also found and made our parents really happy :rotf:

I believe I think a lot too. And I think I also believe a lot. :D

21:51 Right now, I think the storklets are ready for the night. :sleeping:

Good night, everyone.
Tomorrow, I will be absent, I believe.
