That cloudy eye is usually a good clue that a shedding session is about to start. Nice capture.

Lovely shot. Do they tend to slow down when they are shedding.

Super shot. I've seen three grass snakes on my travels around the reserves this summer. On each occasion I had to make do with a tail disappearing into the undergrowth, so I'm jealous of this shot.
