Snakes in the U.K. What are your thoughts?

This is a questionnaire to discover how you feel about the U.K’s three native snakes: the grass snake (Natrix helvetica), the smooth snake (Coronella austriaca) and the adder (Vipera berus). Do not worry if you don’t know anything about them - this study just interested in your thoughts and feelings surrounding them. There will be pictures of snakes in this questionnaire. Should you not wish to view them, avoid page 5. It will also look at how connected to nature you are, so some questions are related to this.
