Something Nasty in the Woodshed? (Warning! - post contains a photo of a snake)

I confess that I am walking the long way round on the path, but inside the snake is above a wheel barrow so I've decided to use the other one!!
An update - I hink it is about the shed its skin because the skin over the eye is blue and opaque.

Yeah that’s a sure sign they’re about to shed. That’s normal when they’re at there most bad tempered. I’ve discovered from experience   .

What snakes do you have on Mull SC? I imagine adders and grass snakes? Supposedly no snakes in Ireland though?

Yea no snakes over here, Saint Patrick made sure of that and run them out. Shame he didn’t run all the snakes out of the 2 legged kind.
