An a-sss-piring photographer from Bushey has sent in this picture of a snake he found in Stanmore.

Daniel Price-Collins, 15, was taking pictures in Bently Priory when he noticed a scaly serpent in the undergrowth.

He said: “As I was photographing the woodland I came across the most unusual animal not expected to be in such a location.”

Can anyone identify the mystery creature? Is it just a grass-snake, or an escaped prize pet?
