On a short visit to Northern Italy, found this Aesculapian snake at the side
of a road eating a large Edible doormouse! To save the snake from being run over by numerous
construction vehicles we had to unfortunately disturb its feeding. Although it lost its meal
at least it did not end up as another DOR.

Great photos and story Rupe; we have a population of introduced Glis glis where I live in Hertfordshire - maybe I could put a few of the introduced Regents Canal Aesculapian snakes in our local woods for a similar effect ? (only joking folks, of course...)
