it's not as if it isn't a common occurance, it seems more like bad press than anything... Cool pic though, i hate those "goldfish".

"A 3ft grass snake nicknamed Sid has been diving into their 15ft by 6ft pond and steadily picking off its 200-strong population of goldfish."

He'll never get all the fish - I doubt he makes a dent in the population! It's not like they're expensive Koi who are named Rolling Eyes

People complain too much - I bet if it was a heron (which each far more, and bigger fish) no one would bat an eye-lid.

It’s beyond a joke!!

Cor yeah how awful, a snake doing what a snake does, and catching their food..........what a stupid snake lol Laughing

But in all fairness at least they haven't killed it just because it's a snake, at least that's one good thing.

And yes my neighbour lost some koi to a heron, nah no media came round for that one Wink
