Hiker finds pit full of snakes

[Catherine]

You only have Adders and Grass snakes?
We have a lot of snake species in Ontario. We even have a few on the prairies where I grew up.

Because of the cold they have to hibernate in a den that is below the frost line. That is why you can see a tangle of snakes emerging.
Other than that most of the snakes we see are just a flash of movement and they are gone into the grass like your grass snake.

It is not so easy to see a snake anywhere. They are elusive.
