We decided not to get anyone and have not seen the snake since but we are sure it is still around as we have not seen any rabbits in the garden since. We always had at least two or three every morning. But as you have all mentioned I am sure she will go on here way one day. |

I can understand her apprehension. Nobody would like to startle it and receive a bite, even if it's not venemous! |

It's also very unlikely to bite unless deliberately molested. |

Yeah, I certainly am no expert on Spanish snakes, as I said lol! Hopefully all is well still with deanbon and his wife anyway?! |

The snake is still here and living under our terrace, I think it may have had some babies. Strange thing is, this morning it looks like an animal has been trying to dig to get in at the snakes. What type of animal do you think this would be? |

I remember seeing Grass Snakes in Spain being chewed by a Fox of some sort.
There are some good and not so good wildlife websites for Spanish wild life it is worth a browse for your particular area Dangerous Reptiles and Toads in Spain

What type of animal do you think this would be? | Possibly Egyptian Mongoose, they are in your area and predate snakes.
This is one I came across on the road not too far from you in 2006.
