What type of grass snake?
You may need to have a good check first as I believe the grass snake itself is a protected species, assuming natrix natrix. |

don't they have to be CB F1 or F2 or even older? and you need to be able to prove it? hmmmm, could be a bit of a grey area there.............
i'm guessing UK temps and humidity are fine for them   |

The wildlife act states that to Trade, harm, kill or sell them in any way IS illegal. Captive keeping is not. Which would mean that they could only be given away in the future.

You can't have any GP. It's against the rules.

if you want to keep one, then the best bet is to mimic the natural environment as best you can. as said, their diet is mainly amphibians, most of the rest is fish, they rarely eat mice.
Google Natrix Natrix, you can find plenty of info about them. |
