Reptiles in Essex

[Ukwildlifeo]

I live in Romford in SE Essex and I wish to see Reptiles. Does anyone know of anywhere near here or in reach of the tube that I can see them? I once saw a Grass snake in Bedfords Park, Romford but I recently years and despite many visits recently I havent seen one. Any sites in N. Kent may be useful also. Thanks

I'm not sure where exactly in London it is or how you could get there, but the London Wetland Centre has Grass Snakes and possibly other reptiles and some amphibians.
But sorry, I'm don't know much about that area so I can't really help you out.

I should get in touch with the Essex Amphibian and Reptile Group if I were you. The ae quite active. Try the Froglife site for contact details if your search engine doesn't help with Essex Amphibian and Reptile Group.

Cheers for your help guys. I did once see my first grass snake swim across the lake in Bedfords Park, Romford, but that all I've seen in Essex. But I shall follow up on your 'Leads'
