We intend taking our dog - English Pointer - when we go to our house in Bearn (64) at the end of the month. Being only 16 months old he has loads of energy, is an 'outdoor dog' as well as very curious and will no doubt rummage around in the garden most of the time. When there last month our neighbour said he'd seen a 'vipere' whilst he was cutting our grass - everyone has been / is friendly and helpful - and although we intend to keep grass etc short, we would appreciate any info upon types of snakes likey to be encountered? Reading the rest of this thread a trip to the vet is necessary if he gets bitten -and the doctors if we do. Checking the water meter in its hole in the concrete as we left, I'm sure that there was a discarded snake skin - or a very long / thin leaf - which wasn't there a couple of days earlier. Is this likely at the end of June? Dessie Dog
